Dear Forum readers, I am now in a desperate situation so I am trying this out. I get seriously numb feet/lower legs when I paddle my 17foot sea kayak any distance, I have tried all sorts of foam carving shapes and donut bum/cheek seats but it is not really working, I literally am screaming in pain after only 40 minutes paddling, I thmne have to take deck off and stretch leg, I have tried raising seat, lowering seat, extra padding on backrest(tho n ot much) and I am now clutching at straws. I am even seeing a sports Dr to se if he can help and he suggested this site. any ideas very much appreciated
Kind regards from a Screaming sea kayaker in Tasmania Australia
