ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for a spray skirt that is adapted to be removably secured to a front portion of a cockpit of a kayak. The spray skirt includes a base triangular in shape and has a front end and a back portion. The back portion includes two distal ends of the triangular shape base. A channel extends from one distal end of the base to the front end and from the front end to the second distal end. An elastic cord having a first end and a second extends through this channel and outwardly from the distal ends of the base. This will provide for the first end of the cord to extend from the first distal end of the base and the second end of the cord to extend from the second distal end of the base. The first and second ends are received within a securing mechanism. This will enable the base to fit on the front area of the cockpit by providing the channel and cord to fit underneath the rim of the cockpit. The excess cord is tightened around the rim of the cockpit and is locked into place by way of the securing mechanism, thereby securing the spray skirt in a fixed position onto the cockpit.
