RE: [Paddlewise] Foam and Backband Outfitting

I replaced the plastic in the Snap Dragon with scuba belt webbing. I found
that  if you sit on the stock backband while entering, it puts a lot of
stress on the hull. The Scuba belt is a continuous loop through a couple of
2" d rings at the hip braces and is fixed using a scuba buckle and is easily
adjustable.

Robert,

I guess that there can be bad backbands too.  I haven't seen a Romany 
backband, but the backband on the Skerray RM I recently sold was very 
effective and had a strap to prevent it from being pushed down.  Some of the

other backbands I have use bungees to hold them up.  The Snap Dragon
backband 
I mentioned earlier is self supporting because the band is a plastic belt.  
Maybe a strap or some bungies to hold you backband up in the correct 
possition could help.
