For proper control, a boat needs to fit like a glove. Tom's craftmanship can sculpture the cockpit of your boat to provide that glovelike fit. Details of your physique such as height,weight, waist size and shoe size are taken into consideration when designing the custom cockpit of your boat.
WHO NEEDS "OUTFITTING" ANYWAY?
Why do baseball players spend months breaking in a new glove? They need the glove to fit perfectly for greater comfort and control right? Well the same is true for whitewater playboats. Since plastic and kevlar and fiberglass can't be "broken in" the way a leather glove can, we make our boats fit by installing custom cut padding and other accessories. These modifications make the boat more comfortable and give us better "feel" and therefore better control of the boat. This increased comfort will lead to more relaxed enjoyment of your time on the river, and the better fit provided by good outfitting will enhance your control over the boat. Better boat control leads directly to improved boat performance and a greater level of personal safety.
Whether you're working on crisp eddy turns, your roll, or cranking it up in your favorite play hole, the increase in boat control you'll get from good outfitting will make you feel "one with your boat" and help all those moves come together. You won't believe the difference!
