I sleep on a Simmons air bed and it's as comfortable as any bed I've used. adjustable firmness, etc. Is there some reason I haven't thought of why someone isn't producing an inflatable kayak seat. It would seem to be an obvious solution to a lot of peoples' problems plus it could probably be designed to use as flotation device for various kayak applications. On the flotation device subject, I have a Cobra Explorer which is a poly SOT type. I have a large hatch in the front, but none in back. What I am trying to do is figure out how I can get rear flotation without cutting holes in the deck. There is one continuous space inside and I'd really like to fill all the rear with flotation and use a bag(s) in the front to fill the space that isn't being used for gear. Does anyone have experience with foaming into spaces? I'm thinking that some kind of solid foam would be good as long as it's light and I can get it in there without too much trouble, i.e. some product that can be poured in and then will solidify. The only access to the rear is thru' the front hatch and the very thin (about 1 inch) space under the floor of the cockpit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Flory, San Jose, CA. daflory_at_pacbell.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speak softly and study Aikido, then you won't need a big stick. ©1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Oct 31 1999 - 17:06:34 PST
