This is a great idea, and is also what Wilderness Systems/WaveSport seems to be doing in the way of their factory outfitting. If you put the loop on the boat, and the hook on the pad, you could interchange pads with skinnier/girthier people who use the same system in their boats. You can also make a pad with hook on one side, and loop on the other, to pad out boats for skinny folks. WaveSport also uses a piece of webbing with a ladderloc buckle around the seat support to keep big water from pulling the hip pad out. Shawn >Instead of installing the foam with contact cement (which I did in my old kayak, with long-lasting, satisfactory results), I put velcro patches in at the points of contact where the hip and knee pads go.
