Greetings, I hope this topic has not been recently addressed... if so,
perhaps someone could let me know and I will go to the archives. :)

Anyway, my problem/question concerns lower back discomfort (through the hips)
mostly while standing still (upright) while on land. The discomfort does not
occur while paddling/sitting, but is there while lying (trying to sleep).

I'm wondering if the problem is related to the fact that my P&H kayaks do not
have a back band/brace of any sort.

If there is some sort of connection, then what do folks recommend for a back
band/brace - something about 4" wide or something much wider 12-14" ???

Many thanks for your thoughts.
