This bag utilizes the wasted space beneath the foredeck for accessible storage. It hangs suspended from two webbing tracks secured by four screws. When two Fastex buckles are released the bag can be slid along its tracks like a drawer into the lap of the paddler. This is our favorite accessory!
If you feel that your kayak is lacking in pizzazz, or you need to one-up your buddies in the kayak armaments race, check out the latest offering from Q Branch. This backband features easy-to-use ratcheting buckles which permit on the water position adjustments. What if you're getting too much pinch at the sides? No problem: Just pull a strap and force the lumbar support forward. Do you need access to the space behind the seat for cargo stowage? With ordinary seatbacks and backbands access is restricted. With this well made and superbly styled back support there is no problem: Everything comes out and reinstalls in seconds. If you like your martinis shaken, not stirred, this is the backband for you! This version is for people who prefer more support.
Snapdragon Backbands
These are particularly fine backbands. They are beautifully
made, deeply padded, have a stiffener to keep them from curving
too much, and have a couple of straps attached to the back to
make it possible to secure a jacket or paddle float behind the
backband. the BB-2 is similar in size to most other
backbands on the market. The SB-2 is extra large for
additional support, and curved along the top.

This high quality cross-linked foam is the basic material from which we create seats, hip, and knee braces. It carves, saws, and sands beautifully, and lasts well. Doing a nice job fitting a cockpit takes a lot of labor. It is worthwhile to use the best material in order to get the best and most durable result for your labor. Comes in 12 or 24" widths by 3" thickness. Maximum length is 48". If the combined girth and length of the package exceeds 84" UPS charges as if the package weighs 30 lbs. We will cut your order into smaller pieces to avoid an unnecessary shipping expense unless you email us to request a larger piece.
This material cuts easily with scissors and is applied like a decal. It is composed of a tough surfacing foam over a compliant base. People use this for creating a protective non skid pad where the spare paddle is carried, for applying a comfortable surface to a hard seat, or for padding the underside of the deck where the knees come in contact with the deck. Please email us if you need specific dimensions, otherwise we will cut the material at our discretion to make up the correct number of square feet.
This material cuts easily with scissors and is applied like a decal. 1/16" foam is useful where a tough, non-skid surface is needed, but little change in dimension is wanted. We use this material to reinforce hip braces or anywhere it's thin toughness is appropriate. It does not follow deep compound curves well. Please email us if you need specific dimensions, otherwise we will cut the material at our discretion to make up the correct number of square feet.
We use this long-wearing, black, non-skid synthetic fabric for upholstering and reinforcing seats, hip, and knee braces. It is applied to foam by means of 3M 8088 Spray Adhesive. Please email us if you need specific dimensions, otherwise we will cut the material at our discretion to make up the correct number of square feet.
Dap Multipurpose Spray Adhesive
We use this for attaching Upholstery Fabric to foam. It can also be used for attaching foam to the boat. NOTE: Because of shipping restrictions, this product is no longer available for purchase, except locally. Try your hardware store.The kit includes one piece of Dragonskin , the Stanley Sureform Shaver and the Modified Stanley Blade. The only other tools that you need to measure, layout, and carve foam are household items that you probably have on hand.
This is the tool of choice for adjusting and finishing seats and braces made of gray minicell foam.
The
Sureform is the most
important tool for carving foam. If you only use the tool
to carve foam the edge will stay sharp indefinitely.
We modify spare blades for the Sureform so that they can be used without the handle to hollow out concavities. The modified blade is one of the fundamental tools for carving foam. You can special order an unmodified spare blade for $3.50 if you need a spare to use with your handle.
