Most likely inadequate support under your upper thighs. Experiment with FIRM supports and see if they alleviate the condition. If so, consider fabricating a dense foam seat, carved to fit your tush and upper thighs. I'll send along some posts I made earlier on this (and spare the list the repeat). To cure my "falling asleep" problem, I had to extend my seat/pad to mid-thigh. (In a Pygmy Osprey Std.) No problem, now, even for 4-hour stints. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Oct 12 1998 - 19:59:23 PDT
