: The Kajak-Sport ergonomic seats come in 3 different sizes: they each vary
: slightly in width, length, and depth. The "large" seat measures
: approximately 19.25"(W) x 18.50"(L) x 7.75"(D).
: Additionally, they are designed to pivot to your desired angle during
: installation!

Thanks. That doesn't sound bad, but I was hoping to find something a little longer. Think I'll experiment with foam first. Any idea of an approximate retail price on their seat?

: The K-S pivoting wooden foot-pedals are very comfortable and are easily
: retrofited to any boats ... whether or not you need a rudder system. The
: pads are large laminated wood (with non-slid material on top), thus one
: could paddle bare foot comfortably ... no nasty metal pads biting into
: your feet! The pivoting feature adds comfort to any extended paddling
: trips and, if one happens to use a rudder system as well, there is the
: added bonus of staying fully braced while steering the rudders!!

These sound like just what I'm looking for. Now I guess the one question is how big are these pedals? Are they like a normal pedal that you would put the ball of your foot on, or something you might press your whole foot against?
