Question about Hobies - Page 2 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have a PA, raised the seat a little to be able to get under it, I am usually on the water 10-14 hours per trip. I pedal a lot and don't even feel it unless I am sprinting after some birds a mile off. And the seat in a PA is nice, no sore butts for me.

If you get a Hobie(except for the pa) save yourself the pain and get rid of the stock P O S seat if that's what it comes with, I went about a year with the stock one and still can't figure out why I waited so long to replace it. It took me a few trips to get the new seat dialed in but I seem to have found the right angle for it. In addition to the new seat I bought one of those gardening pads at Lowes and cut it in the same shape as the seat for additional support. I've been on the seat a few times now and this weekend I finally noticed that I'm not getting the same pain and discomfort that I was when I had the stock seat.

I bought last years model of this same seat.

p.s.
it doesn't come with a bottle of beer.

Go see Andy @ OEX, he'll take care of you
