Paddle tops

I'm having a hard time finding what I need. Besides a full on dry top is there a top out there that seals @ the wrists that is labled as a splash top. Looking for something lightweight maybe even with a liner to elimainate the cling. I'm tired of water running down my sleeve onto my chest or back.

We've got a few options. They all seal around the wrists and neck. Key for surf launching.

All 3 of those will seal at the wrists. I paddle in the Endurance and it seals just fine.

If you want a Hood youll want the Hooded Splashdown, They are about 100.00 and Rik at the KM store stocks them (Mission Bay will likely soon as well).

The Endurance doesn't seal at the wrists, it's the one I have now, it sucks. I'll look into the Stohlquist or this one http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.a...m_term=fr_2504
