THIGH STRAPS
Especially useful in surf and whitewater, the Walker Bay
®
Thigh Straps help you get more
control out of your Airis
®
kayak. Featuring double snap hooks for fast attachment and
removal, the Thigh Straps are fully adjustable to fit any sized paddler. Available in yellow
with gray mesh paddle.
The Thigh Straps come in pairs. They are
attached to the front and rear D-rings on
both sides of the cockpit, and hold the
paddler’s thighs in place.
To install the Thigh Straps, attach the
snap hook with the adjustable strap to the
front D-ring near the footrests.
When you want to use the Thigh Straps,
rest your knees on both sides of the
cockpit in a comfortable and relaxed
position.
Pull the Thigh Straps up and wrap them
around your knees. Make sure that the
straps are flat, not twisted.
Tighten the strap to the best fit that you
feel comfortable with. Keep your knees
slightly bent to keep the Thigh Straps
engaged. For example, if you normally
use the first pair of footrest, you could use
the second pair of footrest when you use
the Thigh Straps.
To remove the Thigh Straps, simply
straighten your legs. The Thigh Straps
will just loosen. Leave them on the sides
of the cockpit till you get ashore.
And attach the other snap hook to the
rear D-ring beside the seat.
After the Thigh Straps are installed, you
can start paddling with or without the
Thigh Straps holding your legs to the
sides.
Unhooking the Thigh Straps during the trip may result in loosing the Thigh Straps.
Do not completely remove them until you have reach your destination or have
access to storage.
