hello dean,

i had the same problom with limp legs in my yare.

i am modifying the forms of the gullimot to add 3 inches to the fore deck at the cock pit,

i have size 13's and wonder if the increase is too much?.

i found that supporting your under thigh helps.

along with flexing leg muscles to circulate blood.

maybe its just a hardship of kayaking ;)
