KAYAK SEAT AND FOOTREST SET-UP:
Daisy Chain Attachment System:
Boards/Boats equipped with
the Daisy Chain Attachment
System let you switch from a
clutter free paddle board to
ergonomic sit on top kayak in
minutes. The ability to
customize the position of
seat(s), footrest(s) and deck
rigging allows for a properly
configured boat for optimal
paddling efficiency and
comfort for all size paddlers.
When attaching the brass clips to the Daisy Chain you will want to use one hand to
open the clip and slide into the webbing loop you choose, while then using a finger from
your other hand to gently press the webbing fully into the clip.
Positioning the Seat:
The standard seat position for one-person use is just behind the central carry handle.
The footrest is then placed in front of the paddler at the optimal location for comfort
based on user height/leg length.
NOTE: Your heels should be pushing against the base of the footrest and be slightly
closer together than your toes. This gives you a solid connection to the boat in the
proper ergonomic position which will allow activation of your core muscles for effective
paddling. Your knees should be bent at about a 30 degree angle – low enough to allow
your paddle to easily swing from side to side, but high enough that you can press firmly
into the footrest to create leverage to “lock” your body into position and engage your
core when paddling.
Installing Seat:
STEP 1:
Place the seat cushion on the hull in the desired position with seat back folded
forwards on top of the seat cushion.
STEP 2:
Loosen the straps if needed to ensure you have slack to work with.
