Default Numbness...

John....

I tried adjusting the foot adjustments (I have a rudder so I don't really
have foot pegs as such...just adjustable straps that change the position).
I tried just laying my feet out straight, moving around a lot to keep the
circulation going...but nothing seemed to help. It's the one thing that
limits how long I can paddle right now. In fact, I had trouble getting out
of my kayak on one occasion as my legs/feet were so numb. I'm thinking
about trying one of my paddle floats as a support for my thighs to see if
that helps.

Thanks for the feedback.

on my first all day trip, I had real problems with numbness in both legs

and
feet.


First, move the foot pegs forward a notch or 2. Someone borrowed my kayak
and moved one of the pegs back, and my first trip after that was agony!
After I re-adjusted them, no problems...
