Hi Don,

Knee braces can accommodate a wide range of paddlers if they're _long_ enough. Sculpt them so they're shaped like a tunnel, running parallel to the long axis of the boat. Shorter paddlers fit the back end of the knee braces, longer-legged paddlers fit farther forward.

A backband works about as well as anything for a seat back, and can be easily adjusted with a buckle/cam.

Happy paddling! Shawn

: The seat needs some
: more carving, and the velcro attached knee braces and seat back were
: failures. I was hoping the knee braces could be moved to fit other
: paddlers, but it does not appear this will be the case.

: Some carving on the seat, repair of the footbrace, and varnish, and the
: official launching will be in two weeks! I'll take some pictures then.
