Andy, Is there a "GEL" upgrade available for the Hobie seats?

Skwoosh makes some, I thought they were too pricey to carry them.

Hobie only makes the air/foam pad. I have used it and found it adds alot of comfort.

$50 plus shipping

I use this :

Loop with some bungee cord to the stock seat, or epoxy a strap under this air seat to the stock seat, cheap and comfortable.

well worth it. although the one suggested by bus is nice . you can crap your shorts on open water , and not have to worry about dumping the chutes or getting a rash.

is the same principle as the hobie upgrade . except no muss no fuss.

So between these two seats what do people think? The factory Outback seat is ok but it seems a little low on my back and I always seem to be squirming for a comfortable position. I had a surf to summit on my Fish N Dive and it was very comfortable.
