Ed, I went through this too. Stretch before you get in the boat. Set you pegs so your legs are bent and knees almost touch the uppers of the boat. Then stretch again. While paddling, MOVE YOUR TOES constantly. Also shift positiion occasionally. Do not hesitate to stop, get out and stretch. Your bod is not used to sitting like this so it will take a bit of time to get used to it. It took me a season to get through is. I now have my pegs so my legs are tight against the boat. If I try this in someone elses boat, my legs fall asleep in a minute. Don't worry, your not doing anything wrong...just take time and stretch.
