ABSTRACT:
A quick-release device for a kayak spray skirt. A first end of the device includes a grip loop releasably secured to the exterior of the hull of the kayak. A release strap runs over the cowling, under the spray skirt, and into the interior of the kayak. The second end of the release strap is then affixed to the underside of the hull, in the interior of the kayak. When a user pulls on the grip loop, it separates from the hull, and the release strap is pulled up. The release strap in turn pulls the spray skirt off the cowling, thereby enabling the user to exit the kayak.
