Harmony Clearwater Spray Skirt

The Harmony Clearwater spray skirt is your water-shedding companion on those early morning solo paddles on the lake. Coated nylon coupled with waterproof polyurethane renders this a splashproof cockpit cover. The rand is designed to last eons, and the shoulder straps detach in case you don't like the suspender look. The wet exit handle is bright safety orange so you can find it during those awkward upside down moments. The waist tunnel is adjustable for a snug or relaxed fit, so you don't need a quiver of skirts for the same boat. Reflective piping ensures the sternwheeler off your stern doesn't engulf you.

Works for me!!
I purchased the Harmony Clearwater Spray Skirt for use on my Perception Swifty 9.5 kayak, which is a large cockpit recreational boat(I bought size XL). So far my paddling has been on the lakes near my home in SW Colorado, elevation 7000 ft. With the large cockpit, the boat was subject to the drip off the paddle and spray from the occasional wind and waves. Several times I found my clothing drenched and water on the floor of the boat where I stowed things like fishing gear, water bottle, etc. The skirt does just exactly what it is supposed to do. It fit the boat snugly yet is still easy to install. It kept me and my stuff dry, and added a great deal of comfort to my last excursion on a rather large lake on a windy day with waves approximately 11/2 to 2 feet high. I'm very happy with the product.

Training Tips

When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.

Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.

Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.

Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
