: Just read Ken Rasmussen's article again on carving a foam seat. He suggests
: starting with a foam block that's only 12" front to back. My butt's
: not huge, but that seems awfully short to me. I can't imagine that
: provides a lot of support. (remember --- at this point in my kayaking
: career, I've done a lot more building than I have paddling).

: My question for those of you who have built, or are building a foam seat ----
: what length (front to back) did you end up with, in order to get
: comfortable support?

I start with a 16" x 14" block with the 16" being the front to back length. This length helps support my thighs.
