The challenge: Keeping the front passenger dry when driving your S4 at full speed in choppy water.
\nThe solution: Outfitting your S4 with a spray shield that’s big enough.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Wavewalk S4 outfitted with a full size spray shield and carrying a wheel cart on its deck. This wheel cart has an extension that can fit into the second slot in the S4’s front deck.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We used a 48″ x 24″ x 0.093″ Makrolon (Polycarbonate) sheet cut into three sections to create a 90″ long, 16″ high spray shield. This material is available at Home Depot.
\nWe assembled the sections using Goop adhesive and rivets.
\nWe attached the spray shield to the S4 deck using eyelets and short bungees.<\/p>\n

This full size spray shield offers some protection from spray to the passenger occupying the front end of the cockpit. This said, we don’t necessarily recommend these large-size accessories, since wearing a light plastic raincoat would be more effective.<\/p>\n

Warning: Stay away from Acrylic sheets because this material is too rigid for this kind of application, and it will develop cracks as soon as you start cutting it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
