A couple of the advantages of the current seat it that it can be used as a backup for a paddle float. The seat is essentially a angled piece of closed cell foam (not mini-cell) inside a cloth "bag" with a velcro closure and a quick snap to attach it to the backbrace and hull. The foam could very easily be replaced with minicell foam that has been customized to fit your uniquely shaped butt, no matter how retentive it might be. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Aug 31 1999 - 11:59:53 PDT
