Thanks again for helping solve my problem with slippery thigh braces - I thought
I had to accept it.  I knew the solution would be to spend $$$!  ;-)  I'll order
some neoprene foam and provide feedback to the list.  I have done quite a bit of
outfitting for my two kayaks but never considered Different materials.  I also
realize I need thicker padding too.  At 6'1", 150lbs, I need a lot of foam!  It
is hard to find a boat for a small AND tall paddler.  To me, the best thing is
the foam to rest your heels on when paddling sans booties - ahhhh.

PS  To people who haven't padded their cockpit I say "If the boat's not
comfortable, you won't paddle it"
