In Response To: Frej SG: Cockpit Sizes (Dan Caouette (CSCWC))

Two cockpit sizes ARE available. The keyhole is the nearly same size as the commercial. From the website:
"There are two sizes of cockpits to choose. Most paddlers will prefer the stock ocean cockpit. It is 40 x 60 cm (15.75″ x 23.5″) and is more in-line with the Frej’s roots. For those that need a bigger opening, there is an optional “keyhole” version with integral wings. The keyhole is 40 x 80 cm (15.75″ x 31.5″)."

Whew!
I'm glad to hear that!
(though I think the text should read: "Some paddlers will prefer the ocean cockpit; most North american paddlers should consider the larger 'standard' cockpit"....)
:-)
You can produce kits with either cockpit size? And the 'glove box' disappears with the larger cockpit?

Thanks for the quick correction!
