I've heard these referred to as mini-skirts.... I have two - the one from Current Designs (I think) has a piece of wooden dowel inside the nylon to provide a bulge/break for waves, while the other has a flat piece of some sort of plastic slightly bent which creates a slight curve (increased height) which is more effective deflecting waves from motor boats, etc.. I think the curved kind is from a Montreal company called Beluga. I bought mine from Trailhead in Ottawa, although I don't see it listed in their current offerings: www.trailhead.ca -- cheers, Stephen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
