Extreme slalom Topdecks

Hiko BALLER 87 x ZEPHYR S/S Top deck

Tasked with building the ultimate decktop for extreme slalom the choice of design was simple. We selected our BALLER 87 skirt with reinforced deck that is ready to take the boat on boat beating. It would not be for racing if was not attached to ZEPHYR top – light and stretchy so you can let the rest follow your tail.

BALLER 87

A bungee style neoprene spraydeck for intermediate to advanced paddlers is now made from e.prene – a kinder to mother nature alternative to conventional neoprene rubber.

+ The deck is made from 4 mm e.prene rubber with Supratex nylon laminated on the top – wear resistant outside layer to ensure durability without sacrificing flexibility.

+ Sticky silicon coating around the inside perimeter of the deck to provide better adhesion with the cockpit rim ensuring it stays on even in hard whitewater.

+ Bungee around the perimeter to keep water out and make sure the skirt stays on.

+ Large and easy to find pull tab for a quick and safe exit.

ZEPHYR S/S Top The

Zephyr short sleeve is a featherweight semi-dry top that was carefully constructed with minimum seams to reduce weight as far as possible (we even cut the sleeves off!).

+ Made from Carbonflex which is an extremely light and elastic fabric.

+ The inside of the Zephyr top is further completed with a cellulose-based finish to minimize friction between the paddler and garment, allowing one to move as freely as possible.

+ One can easily forget about the neoprene cuffs and collar as they are constructed from thin and flexible Neopspan for more comfort.

+ Designed for the demands of racing, great for any water activity.

Tasked with building the ultimate topdeck for extreme slalom we did not have to think twice on the design. Selecting BALLER 87 – a skirt with a reinforced deck ready to take the boat on boat beating – was only logical. And there is no better top to handle the frequency of paddling required during a race than the ZEPHYR top. Here you have it – the decktop to lead the pack.
