So I was curious if anyone has used EVA foam in replacement of the mesh covering. Or if anyone has sailed their Getaway on the wings without any cover at all. I tried to search and saw people putting it underneath but never heard of it used in substitution. |

How would you hold it on? I think glues would work for a short time, but make a mess if you ever needed to replace again-foam isn't very durable in a marine environment without a cover. Besides, I found that bungie lacing holding the provided cover on to be very useful so I'd be loathe to lose that feature. |

I've found marine grade mats used for Jet Ski floors. Based on the abuse that I've seen them receive and still sticking I imagine they will suit the wings just fine. |

I put thin ensolite pads under my wing covers; softens the seat a bit. |

I bought some EVA to stick on in place of mesh. I'll let you know how it goes! |

I need new wing covers. Anyone has ideas for good alternatives? Any pictures would be appreciated. |

I am extremely happy with the result. Wings came out gorgeous, very comfortable, more durable and soft to my butt. They also match the color of the main trampoline. ! I am ready to take her out...I may even just sail all the way to Long Island! I got myself the best wings in the world. |
