Gentlemen,
Thanks for your input.  I guess I don't have to accept slipping as status quo.
I deduct that I need to glue a coarser/stickier material onto the existing pads.
To clarify what's happening, I'm not sliding around in my seat - my skinny legs
SLOWLY inch their way towards each other.  The CD Squall has a tall deck and I
have to push my legs upwards(not out) to get purchase.  No problem whatsoever
when wearing dry pants or wetsuit.  I really like how my wetsuits sticks to the
boat, but it's too hot in the summer to keep it on.  It's nice how it sticks to
the car seat too!

Now to find such a material.  A good test is to lick your finger and slide in
along the material.  Maybe nylon fabric would absorb some moisture and provide
friction.

Tim
