Not to be blowing up my own balloon but.......yes we took the standard in which whitewater paddlers have grown to know in seat comfort and control and adapted it to the Tempest. We are working on a new seat pan and support system that will make the fit and comfort even better. The new 180 will be sporting a entirely new seat built for the beamy paddler. Most seats are 2-4 inches narrower than the beam of the boat. The 180 will be W I D E with the ability to adapt to the narrow of hip as well. Hip pads are standard. There is very little that one needs to do to outfit the boat. Mo' time fer paddlin'!!!! steve Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe N 45º 36.285' 250 NE Tomahawk Isle Dr. W 122º 39.841' Portland, OR 97217 Web: www.aldercreek.com Phone: 503.285.0464 Email: aldercreek_at_qwest.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
