Sea kayakers often spend many hours in their boats. That's just the nature of the sport we choose! Because we're sitting in our boats for long periods, it's important that we're as comfortable as we can possibly be. Discomfort will impinge on paddling performance and endurance...and that can be dangerous at sea!
The SilverStorm Foam Seat is made from a specially selected closed cell foam which offers the paddler warmth, resiliency and easy customising. The seat has been cut to give maximum fore/aft length and height to make your paddling trips as comfortable as possible. By following these simple instructions, this SilverStorm Foam Seat will give you many years of paddling comfort.
Colour: Dark Grey/Charcoal (a bit darker than in the pic)
Includes two side pieces if you want to pad the sides of your seat (you will need to shape them yourself & Sikaflex in place).
Dimensions:
Length (front to back): 405mm
Width 485mm
Depth (Max.): 98mm
Instructions:
If you are frequently removing the seat to clean or adjust the position, hold down the edge of the velcro when removing the seat to avoid peeling away the Sikaflex (no adhesive is perfect - particularly on smooth surfaces!).

Bought a new custom made 532 Kevlar IRT mirage sea kayak and was a bit dissapointed with the stability, it seemed like I was sitting very high compared to all my other sea kayaks I've owned, (approx 12) asked around and many responses led me to buy this seat. After a bit of cutting and sanding it is a perfect fit, sitting quite a bit lower and stability is improved

The most comfortable seat in 40 yrs of paddling. Just a light sand to round off the top edges a bit, stuck it in the boat, and perfect from day 1. After 2 yrs use, incl a pain free 500km Murray trip I'm tempted to buy a spare in case this was ever stolen.

I spend many hours sitting in my kayak in the Massive Murray Paddle and this seat has been the most comfortable I have ever used.
