In Response To: Seeking: Skirt that fits... (Jay Doorly)

I bought my neoprene skirt through Pygmy for my tern 14. It is made by Brooks and it fits the cockpit rim good. The only problem was the fit of the tunnel. It is made for a person with a 40+ waist. The front of the tunnel barely fit under my life jacket and kept so much pressure on the front sides of the cockpit that it would pop off the sides while leaning or rolling. The people at Pygmy acted like they never had this problem before. I called Brooks and they sent me some neoprene and told me how I could fix the tunnel. You can call Brooks and get a skirt through them for your tern 14. They can make it to fit you and your seat position. You'll be much happier going through Brooks. You want a good fit if your going to be rolling or playing in the surf.
