SENSEI 87 Sprayskirt

Sensei for those who mastered the craft of running white water. For those who often redefine the craft itself by drawing lines most of us don’t even see. Forget pushing the limits; just keeping up with them is becoming very calculated by the sheer risk exposure the athletes are willing to take. That is exactly how we approached the design of the Sensei skirt. Through careful observation and learning we fine-tuned every detail of this skirt to create the perfect bond between you and your boat.

• Optimized rand design provides the perfect equilibrium of stretch and hold. Its hollow core reduces weight and provides enough flexibility to an otherwise very durable and UV resistant EPDM rubber profile.

• StoneBase 4.0 Delta e.prene on the periphery of the skirts serves as an abrasion-resistant barrier. Delta foam is stiffer to support the durability of the Stone nylon laminated on top.

• To enhance the durability of the edges of the skirt even further, we use a special coating called Tedate, named after the shields of the ancient Japanese warriors. The coating makes that part of the skirt virtually indestructible.

• The center of the skirt is made from DuraBase 4.0 Alpha. The Dura nylon is also abrasion-resistant, but it maintains more stretch thanks to its unique construction. Alpha foam has a higher stretch that further enhances the ability of the skirt to absorb a massive amount of impact on both explosion and implosion.

• Silicon coating is applied on the bottom of the skirt to support the rand in the critical straight flat sections of the cockpit.

• The bright yellow loop is reinforced with tubing for better grip, and the reinforced T-bar won’t let your hand slip when you need to get out.

• The soft and stretchy neoprene waist tunnel allows you to breathe freely. It is finished with a conical strip with a smooth skin on the inside to keep the tunnel in place.
