: This is going to sound kinda lame and i'm getting way to picky, but
: has anyone come across a nice cockpit cover other than the
: standard NRS covers? I'm looking for something with a bit more
: aesthetic than the standard black.

I can imagine making one out of strip, where there is a lip around the front edge that hooks the coaming lip, and some form of latching mechanism at the back. Or a bungie around the back half... The only problem is stowing it if you plan on covering the cockpit on breaks from paddling.

There was also an article on making your own out of neoprene in the QajaqUSA newsletter. Any color you want, any design you could think of. It was really simple, too.
