After a couple of hours in my Current Design Caribou S my legs are hurting. This thread reminded me that I had a Chesapeake Light Craft seat in my garage that might help. The CLC seat is made of closed cell foam and is shaped to fit a big butt like mine and has an comfortable looking backrest built in. Removing the Caribou seat was no small task. After 2 days I finally cut through the enormous glob of epoxy (or whatever) which held the seat in. A little shaping of the sides of the CLC seat was necessary to clear vertical supports and the new seat fit like a glove. The new seat reduced the front edge of the seat by almost two inches and the back support is very comfortable. Tonight, sitting on the new seat while the kayak was on my lawn was a pleasure which I hope will be exceeded only by the pleasure of paddling it on the Chesapeake Bay this Sunday.
