    Sticking My Redfish Seat Down

    As I stated in an earlier post the seat sits snug does not move around one bit but can take it out easily to thoroughly clean the yak. Cheers

    Sticking My Redfish Seat Down

    After paddling now for over a year with the redfish seat I can honestly say I have rid myself of pins and needles in the feet and sore bum bones. All I did was wedge a piece of cell foam under the front edge of the seat hence increasing the amount of seat the backs of my thighs rest on. I also...

    Sticking My Redfish Seat Down

    G'Day, Got the redfish seat this week and it fitted snugly and perfectly into the epic 18x. No velcro no glue needed so far and I have done self rescues and unsuccessful rolls (gotta learn them yet) Joe Greenley has done a great job! After a long paddle (3hrs) I found I had to carve a couple of...

    Sticking My Redfish Seat Down

    When I googled redfish seats your seat came up. Sorry if I have unknowingly labelled it as a redfish seat. It is a very impressive looking seat. well Done! This is a pic I sent off to Redfish to ask if this is like what I have ordered and the answer was yes except for the shape of the base which...

    Sticking My Redfish Seat Down

    Thanks for that Dave. A good idea. quote .... "probably you have some sitting around from your last trip to Staples or similar." I think you may have me mixed up with someone else. I'm in Sydney Australia not Canada. I'm now just waiting to hear back from Joe at Redfish. Not sure if they have...

    Sticking My Redfish Seat Down

    Thanks guys. The seat I have on order has back rest and hip pads all built into one and it is suppose to fit snuggly under the combing and against the back bulkhead. I am hoping this is the case as I would rather not use glues and velcro. We will see. Cheers!

    Thanks for that Dan. Did you have velcro on the hull of the yak and on the bottom of the foam seat as well or does the velcro stick straight to the foam?

    Indentation In My Baby

    The indent is just where the cradle sits. Its not as big as the surface of the cradle and I can't really feel any bump on the inside. I contacted Epic and there boat builder/repairer said not to use any heat on it and that it would probably not be covered by warranty.

    Tiderace 17 or Epic 18X Sport?

    Hey Mate, Just for interest sake what would be involved in getting a kayak freighted over here to Sydney Australia. My good mate is interested in the Epic 18X Sport as well in the performance layup (same as mine). would it be worth it price wise? Cheers

    Tiderace 17 or Epic 18X Sport?

    Mate I got it from a place on the northern beaches of Sydney, North Narrabeen called Pro-Kayaks. A kayak place that let me have as many test paddles as I liked and the guys there have been terriffic so far. I am a little jealous though, the same boat over your way is some $700 cheaper. I paid...
