X-Wing slider?????? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was watching a show early on weekend morning about kayak fishing in Hawaii. This dude had a seat and foot rests stapped to the back of his kayak (facing reverse). He called it a fighting station. His knees were in his chest but seemed to work for his target species. Not necessary with our relatively small inshore species but cool nonetheless...

If it is watertight it might help with righting a capsized kayak, if it takes on water when the yak was upside down it might make it very hard to flip over. Innovation is cool, usually.... Mine would definitely have a stereo with waterproof mini-speakers, and an expresso machine for those early mornings.

Sean called me into his office last time I was at the factory and showed me the unfinished fiberglass design. OEX in SD got it ready to show at I Cast.. I told him that there definitely was a market for this. It will be pretty cool.
