For sit on top, how does the spray skirt advice work come in, or is the advice not to use one in the ocean?
I would expect it would not flood like you did in the video because the whole boat would be sealed and watertight?
A sit on top is considered self bailing, so no skirt needed. The paddler sits above the waterline, and there are holes through to the underside of the boat.
Ah yip, I misunderstood your previous comment. Beginners tend to be in sit on top boats, so the issue with sea spray without a skirt doesn't apply. However, it does happen occasionally, hence the safety video.
