Regarding leak-proof neoprene spray decks, my experience is that there is no
such animal, particularly -- but not only -- for someone who kayaks in waves
and who rolls.  These decks all let in some water.  I have use Snapdragon,
Seals, and a British brand that I forget its name (starts with a B, I
think). They all leaked a bit.

Cheers,

Josh
