Bumfortable seats may be the the most comfortable kayak seat you'll every use. Steve Gurney, a world champion adventure racer, who's rear has spent uncountable hours crammed into tight spaces, developed the Bumfortable for maximum comfort. Made from recycled thermo-molded, glutius maximus friendly foam rubber, these seats are easy to install, easy to customise, and mold naturally to shape. They can even be heated using a hair dryer to remold into a personalised fit. I've fitted Bumfortables into all my racing kayaks and experience no problems with loss of circulation or numbness. Many races have exceeded 4 hours in duration. But wait, don't take my word for it, here's some feeback from people using the Bumfortables: Marsh from Minnesota posted this on the MIPP Yahoo group: "OK, this is an unabashed PLUG for the Gurney Gears Bumfortable seat. I bought a couple from Phil Taylor back when I had the F1, and thought it was pretty comfortable. But since then, I've found that it was the cure for several ill fitting kayaks. I stripped out the factory seat in a Stratus that I raced at Two Harbors, used it as a drop-in in a boat Cal built, and finally this afternoon stuffed it in the cockpit of my Match II wildwater boat that *had* a bikini seat.molded in. Note the emphasis on 'had'. Bikini seats are aptly named - if you shouldn't wear a bikini bottom, you won't fit those freaking seats!. It fell victim to a bit of quick work with a Dremel tool and cutoff wheel. The Bumfortable dropped right in, and off I went for the first comfortable paddle I've had in that boat. James wrote to me about the seat after the Western Michigan Coastal Kayak Association symposium : "I sat in my boat teaching, which is stressful for my bony butt, all morning and all afternoon and had no pain. Love it!" These seats are firm, supporting, and provide excellent insulation against cold conditions. The BUMFORTABLE GUIDE (Installation Guide) gives full instructions on installing the Bumfortable seat. |
