Love the look of that seat, might give a bit of relief to the knees & the butt. Will be looking foward to trying one out at the convention.
Any idea on pricing Fitzy.

Cheers Andrew

I took it for a blast before work a few days ago, it is a very comfortable seat with 2 height adjustments, great on the back and knees. The seat is like the fold up camp seats, but with more padding.   Was very surprised how stable it is. There's alot of other features which you will see at the Wivenhoe comp.

Price is $2199

After the launch of this kayak at Sydney boat show a couple of weeks back, there are alot of units being pre -ordered. If you're keen to get one I'd be getting an order in ASAP as I think initial shipments will run out.
