I have a Wavesport Fuse 48 and I love it; however, I take on a lot of water. I can actually feel it coming in over the top of my thighs. Currently, I am using a Snapdragon large deck skirt. While this same skirt works well on my Diesel 65, it doesn't seem to work well with the Fuse 48. So, I am looking for a new, drier skirt experience. Do you boat a Fuse 48 and have a dry skirt? What do you use? Thanks!

Deb,
I have a few of the Electric Water spray decks left over from my time with BS.
it is a very dry skirt and bomber construction. Since I am not boating, if you want to try it out, you can use mine.
I am selling them for my cost $165

-------------
Sure?

I will just let anyone that is curious know. The bliss-stick spray deck is the driest deck I have ever used. I have snapdragons and I have used a nookie, w/ and w/out the extra neoprene around the edges. Nothing compares to that bliss-stick deck. I was on the middle middle the other day when it started to rain and drop temps pretty quick, I only had a pair of shorts & dry top on, I was pretty bummed and cold. I played a little, not too much, but when I got off the run, my shorts were still pretty much dry!!!

This weekend on the Wenatchee I stayed pretty much dry too... even with Leif trying to tear my skirt off during paddleBattle, of course with temps around 85 it was not so critical...

Deb,
Seriously, they are great decks, the offer is sincere. you cab use mine for a spell to make sure it suits you.
Worst case, I will bring it to the Ball and you can sport it/

Tobin,
This is a great offer and very generous. I have worried about buying something before trying. I will send you a separate note to line things up. And for all the naysayers, if I end up sporting a Bliss-stick skirt, then I will be singing the praises of staying dry.
Thanks!

James - I never heard it called "paddlebattle". I thought it was "rip and dip".
