Just because it is the best spraydeck I'v never found for years.
I had two, in 10 years and I do kayaking regularly (grade IV-V)

Also it is the best system : the spraydeck is well fixed (thanks to a rubber strip) to your boat and never I had a problem in WW.

I know just that Bushsport is made in england, that's all

thanks for your help!

If memory serves me correct, Bushsport was a British company owned by a paddler named Martin Hedges. Their skirts were really popular with slalom racers around 1985-1990. Richard Fox used them(FYI, he was a pretty good slalom racer back then) I heard the owner died in a car accident or something grim like that so the company dissapeared shortly after. They were nice skirts for their time. They were pretty simple bungee cord sewn to the edge of neoprene which was sized for the various cockpit sizes of the day. Simple, but made well. Reinforced neoprene on the high wear areas was just being intoduced then, so you can easily find superior decks from many modern manufacturers.

Cheers,

Don't know where you're living, but in Holland I bought one (or two) at Felix kanosport in Oude Wetering.
