It is official: Your new boat will be “bone dry”!

March 9, 2004

Today Dane paddled the first Fun 1 in plastic and the boat, of course, has zero holes drilled in it, compared to an average of 10 holes in competitors boats. What is the difference? How about no water in it after two hours of surfing? That is right, Dane paddle for two hours in 16,000 cfs breaking waves, surfing at Rock Island at high water today, doing lots of rolls and in 6’ high breaking waves and got out with a boat that was about as wet as your deck with some dew on it. I think I will get him a new skirt because this one is two years old and is a size 30 waist (he is a 23) so I would be interesting to see if we put a piece of paper in his boat and he paddled if he could come out with the paper completely dry.

David Knights design of the cockpit shape is unmatched for both the top view and the side view. In the side view a constant slightly rising curve in the cockpit rim keeps the sprayskirt rand tight against the top of the rim. Bottom line is: Bone Dry

Want a boat that leaks like a sieve or a dry boat? Dry is the ticket!
