10ft Kayak Sun Shade - Adventure Canopies

Description

This Adventure Canopies Kayak Sun Shade is designed specifically for single person kayaks. It is not compatible with inflatable kayaks and works best with rigid kayaks.

The sunshade is hand sewn and assembled in the USA, ensuring high quality and durability. It measures 10 feet and is available in two sizes: BARRACUDA and TARPON.

The BARRACUDA size is designed for Sit-In and Sit-On kayaks with lower seats that fall below the top edge of the kayak. The TARPON size is designed for Sit-On kayaks with elevated seats that are positioned above the upper edges of the kayak.

This sunshade canopy is made from 600 Denier polyester fabric, which has a UPF 50+ rating. It blocks 99% of UVA and UVB sun rays, providing excellent sun protection for your outdoor adventures.

The canopy features a patented frame that is designed with 4 points of quick release connectors. In the event of a capsize, these connectors ensure that the canopy is easily detached, eliminating any potential damage.

The frame of the canopy is engineered with flexibility and durability in mind, similar to fiberglass tent poles. The fiberglass poles unfold in sections with shock cord, making assembly and disassembly quick and convenient.

This sunshade canopy enhances your kayaking experience by keeping you shaded and protected from the sun. It is designed to withstand windy and rough water conditions, offering exceptional stability.

When not in use, the canopy can be conveniently stored in a drawstring carrying bag, making it easy to transport and store.

If you have a larger kayak, you can check out the Snook Pro XL shade by searching for ASIN B09SBLZM7W on Amazon. It offers a larger shade area and easier Channel Rod height adapters.

This sunshade is specifically designed for non-inflatable kayaks. It provides UPF 50+ protection, tested and certified in the USA. It is hand sewn and assembled in the USA, ensuring quality craftsmanship.

The BARRACUDA size is suitable for 10 feet and longer Sit-On kayaks with seats positioned below the top edge of the kayak. The TARPON size is designed for 10 feet and longer Sit-On kayaks with elevated seats positioned above the top edge of the kayak.

The sunshade is height adjustable and features stainless steel hardware. It is lightweight yet rigid, ensuring extreme durability. It can easily be stored for portability.

The shade offers 10 sq ft of coverage, measuring 54' long and 32' at its widest point. It adapts to any kayak and provides exceptional stability.

Shipping is provided by USPS or UPS for your convenience.

Now, let's address some frequently asked questions:

The Guppy size will be too big for an 8' kayak. However, we have a model called the Shiner specifically designed for 8' foot kayaks, which will be available on Amazon in the coming weeks.

If you have a Lifetime 90894 Triton 100 kayak, the Barracuda size will be the best fit for you. It is compatible with kayaks where the seat is below the upper rails or top edge of the kayak.

If you have a 12' by 41" wide kayak, the 8' distance between mounts is specifically for the Barracuda Frame. Unfortunately, it is not possible to mount both behind the seat to add front space.

If you have a Perception Joyride 10.0 kayak, the canopy will be just enough to cover one seat. It has "s" hooks on the straps that can be connected to a hole or rope handles on the kayak.
