Re: [Paddlewise] peglegging when I hit the beach

I'll try adding padding under my thighs - someone else mentioned that my 
neo booties could be adding to the problem.  Many have suggested a bigger 
boat!  Oh, if that were in the cards!!  :o)

It is true that for me my legs are always bent when on the footpegs - knees 
kind of locked into the hull/deck.  I CAN wiggle my legs around a bit - and 
pulling my feet off the pegs allows me to flatten them out (with my feet 
flat against the forward bulkhead).  In terms of what's hitting the seat 
with any amount of pressure, it is pretty much just the 'apex' of my rear 
end (although for something that large 'apex' seems to be the wrong 
term!).  It is a bit like when I sit on a folding chair....with my feet 
flat on the ground my thighs do not contact the chair as my knees are 
higher than the seat level....folding chairs tend to be uncomfortable too.

If this additional info sparks any other ideas, please post.  I'll give the 
thigh padding a try and let the list know what happens.

Thanks,
Keith
