only my arse, but I suffer from a medical condition called nofatarsetocushion.
I made a pad a few weeks back and seems to be helping.

My knees get soar but it doesn't last long. When I was paddleing my right shoulder was in alot of pain. Actually it was in pain until last week the doc gave me a cortisone shot it my bursa. It feels much better now! So yes I'd chose peddle or paddle any day! Hope this helped.

I know this one. When I bought my last Kayak there was a gel seat cushion the previous owner included with the sale, an that was the key for a comfy ride, so that did not get sold with my Kayak.

My pet peeve again: "Peddling" means selling door-to-door.
If my knees get sore while PEDALING, I know I've been allowing my legs to spread too far. Keeping my legs straighter immediately relieves that. Raising the seat of my PA14 4" helped a lot with that, too. Getting my knees below shoulder height made a huge difference. Otherwise, PEDALING a Hobie takes less effort than walking, IMO. Much less than biking. I can troll for five+ hours and feel very little fatigue. |

right knee has been becoming sore this year......thought I was just getting old but maybe it's a position thing......if I'm not kayak fishing I'm on my MTB and so my knees get a bit overused......hands free fishing is well worth it

PEDALING, and paddling(I checked, it's correct) have their ups and downs just the same.

The only soreness I experience is a sore ass after a long day on water, I cut a custom cushion to fit over the stock Hobe seat and it has helped a lot.

when i paddle.. my back (and sometimes shoulders) start aching. my arse starts to get numb because i have a crappy seat. and my legs start to lose blood circulation due to the fact that i cant move around much to get blood to them. i'm sure a hobie with a well padded seat will leave you feeling MUCH better at the end of the day compared to a paddle yak.

Funny my spell check didn't highlight that. Added. PEDALING to it now.

I agree. I switched to a Hobie Outback a while back and after a day on the water I no longer have the relaxed feeling I did after a day of paddling. I am however pushing my third shoulder surgery and see it as a necessary evil. I just take my wifes WS Tarpon out when I need a stress relief paddle.
What I have noticed is after a long day in the Hobie the next day my lower back is very tight, I think its from having my legs up so high while pedaling. Maybe if I had a higher perch like a PA it wouldn't be as bad. |

That's kind of a sharp, shooting pain right?

First time I spent about 8 hours on the water pedaling around, at landing I tried to jump out of the yak in less than 2 feet of water. My legs buckled under me and I almost let the yak flip in the surf 3 or 4 times before the feeling came back to my legs lol.
I am a pretty fit person, I just don’t abuse my thighs and calves on a regular basis, this was the first time I experienced jello legs, and perfectly at the wrong time. For the record, Hobies rocks! I feel bad for everyone I see fighting the current and wind with their little paddle. Tight lines!! -Aaron

just got my outback
I've been paddling for about 5 years and just recently switched to an Outback. I have 4 trips and haven't felt anything major; I too have bad knees from my mountain biking days; football; track; martial arts, etc, etc, etc. I think once you learn to relax your peddle, just like a bike, it is a very comfortable ride.
I'm not as sore from my knees or legs peddling as I was from my shoulders, wrists and upper back when I paddled. I can honestly say, that the soreness from either, is not enough from keeping me from venturing out, so which ever you chose; fish and be happy.
