wrote: Hi - please excuse the crosspost - I wasn't sure which group to post to - sorry! Right. having just bought my first baot after being paddling for a few years now (the joys of being involved with scouting and having access to boats!). After paddling a number of different boats I decided to buy an Inazone 242 as I found it a great boat for both coaching and playing in (can't afford to have 2 seperate boats!). Anyway. The footrest on the boat doesn't seem very stable, in fact it wobbles around like jelly! I've tried using the larger of the 2 plates supplied, but if I use that one I can't get enough legroom to paddle comfortably. If I put the footrest back enough to stop it rattling it is too far away to be any use! I've noticed that a few of the other inazone's that i have paddles have all had foam type footrests fitted in them (shock bloc I think they call them?). Does anybody know if it is possible to retro fit the foam type footrests into the newer style inazone's, if so where can I get them from? If not does anyone have any sugestions as to how to make the footrests seem more stable? Cheers for any info Chris, You can buy foam block and cut it to shape to customise your boat. You can use it, with Duck Tape, to pad out your seat to give hip grips as well. Where did you buy the boat? We just bought two new boats from Brookbank, a Wavesport, which came with a fitting kit, and a Method Air which came with pre cut foam pads to slot into place. You can also buy ratchet footrests that bolt into the side of the boat. I'm surprised you bought a 242. I'd have thought that you would have been teased into getting into a smaller boat - we were :-) It was scary on white water at first, but you get used to it. Ewan Scott |
