  ...but the interesting


  thing to me is that 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?





Yes there excists such a contraption, on a norwegian designed boat (which I
myself paddle) The boat is designed in Norway by afellow named Jarle Crabbe,
it's named Sibir Expedition. I find it very comfortable to paddle with!





Regards Ole Christian
