I have a couple of Pygmy boats, an Arctic Tern and a Coho. I have REALLY bad numbness in my legs after 20 min of paddling with the therm a rest pad that came with the boats. I carved a mini-cell seat which I transfer back and forth between the two boats but it is only marginally better. I still end up with no feeling in my legs after some time in the boat. I have followed the discussion of this numbness problem on the bbs for some time. I recently went out for over two hours in a rented fiberglass double with a molded seat and had no symptoms at all. I am realistic enough to know that I will never make my own molded fiberglass seat so that leaves trying to find one that could be fit into the Pygmy boats OR other commercially available seats that might provide the same kind of support that a molded fiberglass seat does.
Has anyone solved serious leg numbness with a commercially available seat fit into a Pygmy kayak?
