How often do you yak? Had this problem before? Lot's of better seats on the market now, but if you do little yaking you need to build those muscles up some. Shorter sessions working up to full days. Get in training. Or buy a Hobie with a new seat and use your legs. Leg muscles are stronger.

Paul,

Here's what I did years ago. Go find a used boogie board. Use a saw and cut a seat pattern that will fit on top of where you FiveNDive seat goes. Make sure not to cover the scuppers holes. Glue it down with MarineGoop. Now place whatever seat you want over it. Believe me, I know what back pain is all about.

Stretch it out before... hard to do during.

My solution to sciatic back attacks was to buy a Hobie PA for the best seat on the market. If I still had my scupper pro, I wouldn't be kayaking any longer.

Nice trick there!

On my old tarpon 120 and cobra tandem, I used to use a kneeling cushion . I would cut to shape and then place my seat over. Inexpensive and worked very well.
