Hey Mark... congratulations on the new boat. Hope you solve the footroom
issue. I have to say that the time I was entrapped in the Express I was also
having trouble getting my feet back on the pegs because I had so little room
(due to the tennis shoes I chose to wear). If you are not already paddling
with no shoes at all, try that and then move upwards to something that will
give you the support you need without being cramped. I tend to sit with my
toes on the pegs and my feet pointing towards the bow and my toes pointing
to the side of the boat.

If it's narrowness of the bow that is causing a problem move the pegs
towards you and your knees out. It can be very dangerous to get your feet
hung up in the tight confines of the boat.

Craig
