In Response To: Seeking: Back band or backrest ideas (Kudzu)

I have never been disappointed by my Snap Dragon backband. Paddled over 100 miles around Isle Royale last summer and not once did I have any back support issues. I just put a Current Designs backband in a boat I'm finishing for my wife, and I already want to swap it out for one of those. There is a huge quality and design difference.

: I should have the boat finished this weekend except for seating arrangements.
: I will make do for a week or to, I am ready to paddle it!

: I need some idea on back band or backrest. Making a wood frame is no problem.
: What do you put on it? MinIi
: I could use some photos of how to rig up the back band mounts too. My last
: one didn't have a back band so this is new to me.
