Hiko BALLER 94 V2: A sturdy e.prene deck for demanding whitewater paddling
Hiko BALLER V2: Innovation and Sustainability for Whitewater
The BALLER 94 V2 is a "bungee"-style spray deck designed for intense whitewater use. It builds on the highly proven shape of the first generation but adds significant improvements in safety and environmental sustainability. The 94 version is optimized for modern plastic boats with larger collars (around 94 cm). Thanks to its versatility and indestructibility, it is appreciated not only by expedition kayakers and creek riders but has also become a sought-after model for operators of paddling schools and rental shops.
Constructed from e.prene, Tedate reinforcement, and silicone
The material composition of this spray blanket represents the cutting edge of today's market:
- 4 mm e.prene: A sustainable and more eco-friendly alternative to conventional petroleum-based neoprene. It retains its excellent thermal properties, flexibility, and strength, but is more environmentally friendly.
- Outer Supratex lamination: The deck is laminated on the surface with highly durable nylon that can withstand heavy mechanical stress and abrasion.
- Tedate Edge Reinforcement: The most exposed areas along the perimeter of the spraydeck are protected by Tedate Japanese film. This provides essential protection for the spraydeck against abrasion from the paddle or rocks, without compromising the flexibility needed for putting it on.
- Silicone coating on the underside: It ensures a perfect, secure fit of the cover to the boat's coaming, prevents it from slipping during rowing, and creates a watertight barrier.
T-strap and safety features without loops
The BALLER V2 model raises the bar for minimizing risks in whitewater:
- Digging T-strap: The traditional front loop has been replaced by an innovative T-strap with a non-slip texture. The absence of a loop completely eliminates the risk of the strap accidentally getting caught on branches, rocks, or other gear while swimming. The strap is easy to grip even when wearing thick neoprene gloves.
- Extreme stability: The sturdy elastic cord, combined with silicone, ensures that the spray deck stays securely in place on the collar even under heavy pressure during Eskimo rolls, rides through massive waves, or jumps.
What is the ideal use for a spray deck?
The Hiko BALLER 94 V2 spray deck is the ultimate tool for:
- Advanced whitewater paddling and creeking: The extreme durability of the materials and secure fastening prevent implosion in critical situations.
- Field Trips and Training in Schools: Long service life and a sturdy design built to withstand rough handling and repeated use.
- Wide compatibility with WW kayaks: It fits perfectly on most modern creek boats with a cockpit length of 88–98 cm.

Expert Advice and Product Care: The silicone coating on the inside ensures that the spray deck won’t slip out of the cockpit; however, when putting it on dry, it can offer significant resistance. We recommend lightly wetting the edge of the boat and the inside of the spray deck with water before putting it on. The T-strap is an excellent safety feature—when pulling it off, grip the crossbar firmly (the non-slip coating prevents it from slipping out of your hand) and yank it upward and toward you. Clean the e.prene material with fresh water after every paddle and dry it hanging freely in the shade. Direct sunlight and heat shorten the lifespan of the coatings and lamination.
