Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how I can keep my feet from falling asleep while paddling a kayak. I'm a newbie, beem paddling less than a year & don't have my own kayak yet. So I rent one when I can afford it and so have only about 20 hours of time on the water. Here's my problem: after paddling for about an hour, my feet fall asleep. I've tried repositioning the foot braces from a point of my legs being almost straight to extremely bent & everywhere in between. Nothing seems to help. Am I doing something wrong, or am I just not used to being in this position for long periods of time, or does the boat not "fit" me? Should I try another boat? I'm 6ft & 175lbs. The boat I have been using is a plastic Sealution. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
