The odds are it's your seat, or rather the whole problem of your backside and upper thighs not getting good support. I seem to remember that the Assateague's seat is relatively flat. That makes for poor support. Ideally, you'll want to get a shape that contacts a lot more of your backside. Some paddlers have made seats that are shaped like their backsides by making a mold -see the Kayak Wiki page: <http://www.kayakforum.com/cgi- sys/cgiwrap/guille/wiki.pl?Making_A_Seat> Mike *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
