Once, in surf, I witnessed a very competent paddler and Mariner fan slide so
far forward in his 'sliding seat' that his skirt blew off the back of the
rim and he was as deep into the front of the boat as possible.  Literally up
to his armpits.

He wasn't very happy.

I personally wouldn't want my seat shifting around, fore and aft, while
underway.
