Kayak Spray Skirts

There’s a moment before taking your first paddle stroke, pulling your skirt over the cockpit, tucking the grab loop over, where you commit. You seal yourself in, eyes on the line ahead, ready for whatever the water throws at you. A good kayak spray skirt isn’t just another accessory. It’s part of your mindset.

We’ve hand-picked this collection of kayak spray skirts for paddlers across the board: whitewater chargers, Coast to Coast multisport athletes, and sea kayakers exploring the open coast. Our lineup includes tough neoprene skirts built to withstand pressure and impact, low-profile racing decks designed for quick transitions, and breathable nyloprene skirts ideal for calmer conditions.

The Rasdex Multisporter with food pocket is a race-day MVP. Secure, streamlined, and cleverly designed for fuelling on the go. For beginner whitewater paddlers, the Palm Enduro offers a forgiving fit and easier stretch when you're learning to pull it on and off. And when things get serious, the Palm Orbit holds tight with a thick rubber rand for heavy whitewater.

Every spray skirt here includes a detailed fit chart so you can match it to your kayak model. We’ve got support on hand and easy exchanges if the size isn’t quite right.

One note from our experience: Nyloprene skirts with shoulder straps have no place on rivers. They can be dangerous in a swim and won’t work with dry tops. They're fine for sea or lake use, just don’t use one on your local run, especially around trees.

Whether you're shopping for your first whitewater kayak spray skirt, a kayak spray deck for multisport racing, or a sea kayak spray deck for long-distance comfort, we’ve got the right gear. Backed by expert advice, full fit support and NZ’s best prices.
