Love the footrest idea

Thanks for the ideas! 1 other mod we did was adding a plastic paint bucket from home depot in the storage hatch. It fits perfectly and keeps belongings from sliding to unreachable areas of the kayak!

Great idea! What size was the bucket?

@smkauthor it's the BEHR 1 gal. Empty Plastic Paint Bucket with Pour Spout Lid at Home Depot. They are listed for around $7.50 each.

I need the clips! My biggest problem is how they keep coming off! I'm bigger too, so ..... 😅 I'm going to do the pool noodle thing as well. Thank you! Hope the link is in the description.

Hey Steph, thanks for the info on the seat clips. I'm refurbishing an Emotion Spitfire 9 kayak and those are exactly what I needed. Happy paddling my friend. Jeff

Nice simple little things you can do to improve your experience. For the clip you added on the seat, perhaps you've already tried and didn't like it, but have you considered looping it around what you want to tie it to and then clipping onto the cord itself? I haven't made any modifications to my own kayak (sit-inside by P&H, the Scorpio Mk2), but I did find a camera for motorcyclists that claims to have 8-ish ours of recording. So I want to create 1 or 2 mounting points for that (I'm a big fan of set and forget things).

Well done video. I was hoping one of the 3 was a seat upgrade. Geez those factory seats are junk

do you have an idea for a cup holder? My drink spills every time I get out and get in.

any ideas for better back support

Hi, what is the name brand of clips. Where to buy them?

@brianp4416 9 күн бұрын

Thanks Steph! We've been having the same problems with those clips. With the buckle from Etsy, are you able to tighten or lossen the strap to adjust the seat easily while you're kayaking? Or do you need to detach it from the anchor point to adjust it?

You can adjust it without taking it off, but not super easy.
