I have a new Viper and two skirts that mostly fit... The cockpit is about normal slalom size, enough smaller than my other boats' (Maverick + with Cascade sized cockpit and Slasher) skirts don't quite fit - snug, but not dry.
I plan to order one based on a tracing, but know I could not get it in time for this coming weekend. Any of you coming to the Armada have a slalom sized skirt for a 36" +/- waist that I could borrow?
Skirt for Armada weekend?!

Will this one work, it's really nice. I wish it fit something I own.

Skirts...
Scott I'm not sure I'll have one in that waist size (it will be close 
) but I'll toss some extras in the Jeep just in case too. CU this Weekend! Paul C.

PAC - I'll do my best to shed a few inches between now and then!
LEW - I just measured and my boat is 20x22, not sure that skirt is any closer than what I have
DaveM- Thanks!
My present skirts' watertighness (both similar) may coincide with my tolerance of the lower seat. Playing at the beach yesterday I needed to dump every 20 minutes or so, about the same time it took my ankles to go all pins and needles.
See y'all soon -

are folks going to have extra boats around on Friday? What is this place on the Narrows like - is it a place next to the road, or is it a paddle-in? I'm thinking about coming up (have a race on Sat and Sunday in NY) but I'd like to do some squirting on Friday if I don't go creeking. Are folks going to have extra Vipers/squirt boats around?

Looks like Adam (and some others - based on the "roll call" post) will have you covered with a spare boat (you might have to wait in line for the Maven
). I believe there will also be spare skirts as well.
The Cheat "Narrows" has WV State Route 72 runing along the section planned to be paddled. This section is ~4.5 mile long but what is paddled depends on if others want to do it all or just play.
Also there is a path down to the squirt spot itself. So I expect there will be some boat swapping - or at least I hope that will be the case.
I will have my Full cut Acrobat that I'll willing to lend out at the play spot since I hope to get some video.
Also the levels should be good since it looks like there will be some rain but not too much prior to Friday.
DIRECTIONS:
To get there take I68 to Bruceton Mills then south on 26 thru Albright to Kingwood. Then East on 7 to the bottom of the hill (prior to the bridge crossing the Cheat) and a right on to 72 South. Follow 72 to the WV Game Checking Station (on right - Sorry I forget the name) - that is the take out (on left - river side of road).
The squirt spot is about ~1.5 miles south (pull off on left at a higher section of the roadway that is just after a fairly large wooden cross (which hard to see since it is dark and weathered)).
Looking forward to Cing folks! My Cell is 412-310-6039
