[Paddlewise] Footballs hurt

Help,
When I paddle for more than an hour my footballs really hurt. I paddle a
Pygmy Coho with bulkheads and Keepers foot braces and I wear thin water
shoes. I have paddled a WW boat that had no foot braces, only a foam
bulkhead and it felt very cushy. 

Has anyone ever modified a SK that has foot braces to a bulkhead type
foot brace? My existing bulkhead is probably 8" or more from my foot
position. Is there a way of mounting a foam (maybe glued to plywood)
bulkhead to the existing foot braces? It would be nice to be able to
adjust the bulkhead with the foot braces. I could remove the existing
foot braces and build the bulkhead out to the correct position but, I
would only work for me.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Larry C.
