In Response To: Re: Foam vs Schade Foot Rest (Shawn Baker)

I have never paddled a boat with a bulkhead and foam foot rest. I have only paddled the comercial variety which means you are locked in the same postition until you hit dry land to adjust.

What I liked about the Schade version is that it appears that you can adjust the location of the footrest while you paddle. This could offer a little variety in location either throughout the day or seasonaly (thinking about shorts in the summer vs wetsuit in the winter).

Maybe I am dreaming up an issue that does not exist?
