Ed, one of the main reasons for feet falling asleep has to do with the kayak
seat. A seat that is too high in the front puts pressure on your sciatic nerve
and it's nighty-night feet. Try tucking a 1/4 - 1/2 inch pad under your butt
and see if it helps. Also, try some other boats and see if the different seats
make a difference to you.
