My CLC with it's creature comfort seat / thermarest pad combination is really comfy, and adjustable both by inflating or deflating the pad, and pulling up the seat from it's velcro to move it. I get about 3-4" forward if I need it. The hip braces are glued in one spot though, but it would be very easy to pull them off and move them if needed.
: Hi Don,
: My son is eleven, and yes there is room for growth. The boat is 14'-6".
: The minimum length I would consider for a sea Kayak and the cockpit rim is
: identical to my Guillemot. I mounted the seat farther forward (@2")
: so it would fit him a little better and I figure as he grows I will
: re-adjust the seat location. If I could figure out a way to adjust the
: seat without gluing it in it would be fine for others. My plan was that we
: could introduce other friends to kayaking when he did not want to go with
: my wife and I. I may have to remount the foot pegs farther forward in the
: future and move the bulkhead a little but I'm 5' 9" and I fit in,
: it's just that the pegs are to far back for me to use them for steering.
: You could ask Greg Stamer what length boat the kids use in Greenland. He
: was helpful when I asked questions on Greenland paddle sizing for my son.
