Hiko PRODIGY 87 V2: Safe E.prene spray deck for whitewater beginners

Hiko PRODIGY V2: Confidence for Beginners in Whitewater

The PRODIGY 87 V2 model from Hiko is designed to make your first encounters with rapids and rollers as easy as possible. It is designed for a wide range of paddlers—from complete beginners at kayaking schools to more advanced paddlers who are refining their technique. The main goal of this spraydeck is to provide a very good balance between a secure fit around the neck and easy removal, so that the paddler feels safe at all times.

Eco-friendly E.prene material and a comfortable fit

Špricdeka uses state-of-the-art, more environmentally friendly materials:

• Deck made of DuoBase 4.0 Delta E.prene: Thicker, eco-friendly neoprene (made without petroleum derivatives) ensures high resistance to water and mechanical wear, while remaining flexible enough to fit comfortably over the cockpit.
• Chimney made of DuoBase 3.0 Alpha E.prene: The thinner, more flexible material on the collar ensures a comfortable fit around the body. It does not restrict breathing or torso rotation during more complex paddling strokes.
• A reliable bungee cord: The elastic cord’s circumferential tightening securely fastens the spray deck to the kayak’s coaming and prevents it from slipping off, even in strong currents.

Innovative T-strap for maximum safety

For beginner paddlers, it is absolutely essential to know that they can easily get out of the boat:

• T-profile digging strap: A new "T"-shaped pull loop design. It eliminates the dangerous loop where a branch or carabiner could get caught. The shape is easy to feel by touch and provides a firm grip even when wearing thick gloves.
• Attachment under the vest: The strap can be easily secured under your life jacket, which you'll appreciate when transporting the boat or moving along the shore while surveying the rapids.

What is the ideal use for a spray deck?

The Hiko PRODIGY 87 V2 is an excellent and user-friendly choice for:

• Whitewater (WW) Instruction and Courses: Its ideal flexibility ensures that beginners can easily put on and take off the spray skirt.
• Technique Training in Rapids: The excellent flexibility of the materials does not restrict movement when practicing tilts or Eskimo rolls.
• River running and navigating easier technical sections: The safety T-strap provides peace of mind in the event of a wet exit from the boat ("rat exit").
