That's where my tush is on my hardshells -- with minicell foam padding to flesh out the remainder of the "seat." Been paddling that way for over five years. Caveat: a quarter-inch-thick layer of neoprene or similar down there is a good idea, to minimize conduction of heat away from yourself. My 3 mm wetsuit is not enough, sometimes, so I occ. supplement with a Thermarest seat cushion, partially inflated, when the water temp drops below 42 F or so. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
