Another option, an the one that I prefer, is to remove the foot pegs and use foam against the bulkhead to pad the bulkhead out to a comfortable foot bracing position. It's easy to do and is very comfortable. It also allows for less water in the cockpit area when a capsize occurs. On the negative side, it's not easily adjustable, so it's difficult for others to paddle my boat. When I purchased my last boat, I had the dealer not drill the foot peg holes, so there was nothing to plug up. I've heard of some who are special ordering their boats to have the bulkhead placed at just the right point for their leg length.
