Help , I hope this is a common complaint that can be easily resolved !
I have been an open boater for about 3 years with several long trips under
my belt. Recently , I have developed an interest in sea kayaking . The
problem being that after about 25 mins my right foot starts to go numb ,
10
mins later my whole leg goes numb followed shortly by my left foot !!
From what I have read from other posts here is that this is mainly due to
either the foot peg adjustments and/or the way you are seated. Possible
solutions mentioned were adjusting the foot pedals or repadding (or
replacing) the seat. I would first try different foot peg adjustemnts and
if none work try changing the seating. I know that when I sit in my boat
(it's design is meant for someone a little bigger then I) correctly (ie: my
knees braced) my thighs are elevated from the seat which causes discomfort
similar, but not as extreme, as what you feel after a period of time. I am
going to try adding some padding to the seat to help support my thighs.
