: Hi John,
: I'd second, or third, or fourth, the use of minicel tower as a
: 'backrest' over a backband. I took the band out of my plastic
: yak and put in a block of minicel. It makes it easier to control
: the kayak without the link to the kayak higher up on the back.
: The top of the block is below the coaming height and is shaped
: so it is easy to slide in though it's not easier to slide out
: (accidentally). Bracing and the like is better controled with a
: masik or kneehooks depending on cockpit type.

: Look up sacral support, which is what the minicel block is. I stuck
: a block on my chair as well, I don't actually use the chair back
: much now. It's kinda hard to slouch properly with the block in
: place. :)

: South West Cork

Hmmm....minicell block on my chair, now there's an idea :)
