Whitewater Forum : Rand VS. Bungee

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity · 10-13-2015 at 09:00

Author: DaleSubject: Rand VS. BungeePosted: 13 Oct 2015 at 9:00amAlso, if you don't have a skirt tunnel on your drysuit/drytop, you will usually get a bit of water in your boat, especially if you roll a lot.

Author: EllingferdSubject: Rand VS. BungeePosted: 13 Oct 2015 at 8:47amSnapdragon and IR are pretty much the only companies making good skirts now. I suppose there is Seals, and those are good as well. Bomber Gear is out of business again, but their skirts are also great. As for implosion, its not really a concern unless you are consistently running huge drops or your skirt doesnt fit your cock...

Author: jalmquistSubject: Free surf kayakPosted: 13 Oct 2015 at 8:29amYikes! The surf reports were forecasting some pretty big waves for this past weekend. Glad the shoe survived! Before you head out, check some of the surf forecast sites like Magic Seaweed. http://magicseaweed.com/Washington-Surf-Forecast/14/ Specific beaches (Westport, Hobuck, La Push, etc.) have certain characteristics (that...

Author: Mauler!Subject: Free surf kayakPosted: 13 Oct 2015 at 7:54amSurfed the shoe on satuday. Kart wheeled more then surfed. Still awesome fun. Glad the boat didn't break. Waves were big and steep at westport. Trying hobuck next time out.

Author: mikefromTXSubject: Rand VS. BungeePosted: 13 Oct 2015 at 7:37amI have a IR Royale. It's the bees knees. I've had a perception rand as well, but it was pretty old when I got it. I used a Snapdragon for a while and the bungee skirts leak like a sieve, and will implode MUCH easier than the rand. If implosion is only a minor concern, you can get an implosion bar in a bungee skirt. If you wa...

Author: Mauler!Subject: Rand VS. BungeePosted: 13 Oct 2015 at 7:35amSkirtworks makes great rand skirts. If you don't want it hard to get on......don't order the tight fit. Plus they always told me to pay them later, after I recieved tbe skirt and was happy. Bungees are for people that don't know any better.

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity · 10-13-2015 at 07:33

Author: DaleSubject: Rand VS. BungeePosted: 13 Oct 2015 at 7:33amNearest I can tell, almost all boats leak at the fasteners. Being tight or having a rubber washer only rarely solves the problem. I've had new boats that leaked from the drainplug(I hate drain plugs). If you want to make sure your boat doesn't leak, back out the fasteners enough to put a little Aquaseal or silicone on the threads,...

Author: SlackkinhardSubject: Rand VS. BungeePosted: 13 Oct 2015 at 6:44amI'm interested in this topic. I only have experience with a bungee. I was told that the rand is harder to get on, especially when cold, and since I'm still a class III boater I wouldn't have any reason to spend the money for a rand?? I don't know if it's my skirt, or maybe my boat just leaks
