Can I piggyback off of this thread with another symptom ? In addition to numb foot, I was experencing a deep seated ache in my hips. After a little experimentation, I sold the boat. I never got to making a custom seat. I have always thought both problems were related. Any ideas ?

: Hi - My husband just finished building my a wonderful kayak, Pygmy's Arctic
: Tern. Today we went out and much to my distress, my legs and feet were
: falling asleep/pins and needles, etc. in no time. I'm not sure if this is
: the seat or where my leg braces are placed - I just know that there is
: some nerve impingement going on that is making me miserable. Can anybody
: offer a suggestion? I'd really appreciate it. Toni
