My brother and I spent 8 1/2 hrs in our kayaks yesterday. After 3 or 4 hours, he was talking about how "stove up" he was getting...in the whole day, I never got sore or uncomfortable. His is an Ascend FS12T, mine is a Pelican Catch 120. At some point during the day, when we'd stopped to eat, I had him to paddle mine around for a bit...he said the difference was a game changer! The biggest difference is that his seat is adjustable front to back, while mine is also adjustable up and down. I keep my seat in the high position, and can stay in it all day long. I priced components today to mod his seat to adjust up and down...he's going to be happy with it!
