I am relatively new to sea kayaking and have been putting in a lot of

time

on the water during the last month or so. A big problem that I was

having

was numb legs. I tried everything and then saw a "thigh support" (a

self

inflating, curved, waterproof support....that attaches just in front of

the

seat using stick on Velcro squares). It worked wonders.

Where did you find this?



Anyplace that carries Seal Line products should be able to order one for
you:

Good idea, but 40 bucks??? You can make a minicel foam support for a
quarter of that price or make your paddle float serve double duty.



Agreed. In fact, I don't even require support in that area as I have not
had a numbness problem in my current kayak. I actually didn't notice the
price. Don asked where an inflatable version with velcro attachments could
be found so I pointed to one.

One advantage I could see to an inflatable one like the Seal Line version is
the ability to adjust the firmness with the amount of inflation. It's also
about half the size of a paddle float, which seems to me to be much larger
than one would need. But you're right... 40 bucks????
