"the rudder controls are by ones toes, over solid pegs for the balls of your feet. this set up seems to be very user friendly and it eliminated one of my pet problems with rudder controls, spongy foot rests. My questions are: is this control assembly available for kayaks? if so, which ones. and if not, why not?" This set up is available in Australia. It is what I have on my boat; a fixed plate for the ball of the foot, with a hinged flap above controlled by the toes. The rudder cord attaches to the top of the hinged section. I had the misfortune to try out a boat with sliding rudder controls on the weekend. I missed a roll when the foot control slid forward and I slid out of the cockpit.
