I have been training a little bit for longer distances. I have a problem and need help. The lower section or end of my spine, or lowest vertebra ends up sore after 4 or more hours on my seat. It seems like my cushioned sides seem to flatten down and all the load goes into that bone or so it feels. On the first day the pain was gone after few minutes off the kayak. On the second long training the pain lowered but reappeared soft but constant during the following day. One friend suggests a thick neoprene with two holes, one for each side bone, so that the center ends up cushioned. Others suggest a donnut shaped air inflated piece that floats the center. I'd like to hear the experts opinion. Opinions like get yourself a sailboat, and the like are not acceptable, :-) Best Regards, Rafael Mexico www.mayanseas.com <http://www.mayanseas.com/> *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
