You could even use a thick plastic table cloth for this purpose. Alternatively, you can simply turn the boat over, and have its cockpit opening face downward. Yoav Dexter,

Anyone know a source for a cover to fit the entire cockpit? I need to keep water out during storage. I live in SE Fla where I store my WW behind the house (we live on the water).

These are two different things for different boats and different uses. Moshiko I don’t think the wavewalk cover is comparable to a SIK spray skirt.

It's also a multipurpose solution, which is always a good thing. I like it because it’s cheap, and kayak spray skirts can cost a lot. It’s also a multipurpose solution, which is always a good thing.

The traditional tight spray skirt is important not just to protect the paddler from spray but mainly to make his kayak waterproof when he rolls it.
