I comfort Seat Question

What's up my fellow Hobie enthusiasts.

The stock seat on the revo leaves me feeling a little butt hurt every time I go out.

Wondering if the I comfort seat is worth the scratch, or if I should just pony up for a better seat all together.

Opinions on the I comfort seat?

is it back problems, numb butt, or something else? if its numb butt then you could just stand up on your hobie for a bit. that seems to help out alot

No back issues, more of a pain in the butt from sitting for so long with little padding.

Hobie has an A$$ pad to go under your seat, but I just used a foam paddle board and cut to fit, velcro on to the bottom fixed the "numb butt"

I picked one up recently butt was somewhat disappointed. It did make the seat more comfortable butt that was more along the thigh. Since the pad uses air as a cushion, the air moves to the area with least pressure. That's not where I want it. Might try blowing into the valve to inflate the seat fully. I guess that defeats the purpose of having a self inflating adjustable pad.

Shoulda tried finding some foam to cut first.

LOL, too funny! I don't ail from that particular disorder. I think it is happening becuase I usually always have my feet on the peddles to make corrections during the drift leaving more pressure on one butt cheek.
