Phares, The best way to replace your lost seat is to buy a new kayak. Just kidding. Like one of the prior posts said, you can carve your own foam seat. I actually prefer a custom carved foam seat over the factory ones. On just about every fiberglass kayak I owned, even a brand new one, the factory seat came out and the foam went in. The foam is lighter and is custom carved to fit you. But it does take a little bit of talent to carve a good one. You can buy foam at a lot of local kayak shops, but I order mine at www.noc.com. I don't remember the issue off hand, but there is a good old Sea Kayaker Mag article on how to make your own foam seat (custom cockpit outfitting). I'm sure you can find it. I've made around ten foam seats and can have one done in around two hours.

The foam seat was lost. What is the best way to replace it? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
