What is a coaming?
• The coaming is the fibreglass rim around the cockpit opening. Hardshell kayaks utilize this type of form, and it allows the use of a spray skirt and sea sock. In 2005, with the introduction of the Wisper, we re-visited the cockpit coaming design. A “built in coaming” system was developed for the Wisper. (For more details on this, see Construction.) The Kahuna and Big Kahuna were also changed to this system in 2005. In 2006, all of the models were changed to the new built in coaming system. Assembly has been simplified and worry of breakage in shipping has been eliminated. The spray skirt and sea sock fit as usual.
