Neither are matches in your backpack or power steering for your car. The fact is a rudder can be invaluable if you get caught in high winds or strong currents. A rudder can help reduce fatigue and make a significant difference in your boat’s ability to track.

When deployed you use the foot pedals to guide the kayak to the right or the left. A rudder is used for keeping your boat on track, especially when weather conditions change. It can help make your journey safer and more enjoyable. Necky Seat with Back Band: Made of durable molded foam, this seat pad is designed specifically to reduce pressure on your sciatic nerve. This helps prevent most paddlers’ feet and legs from falling asleep when they are paddling longer distances by actually improving blood flow around the gluteus maximus.

In addition, the seat pad does not retain water. The touring seat pad also features a back band with a forward adjustment system. The back band can be adjusted to provide ample lumbar support, movement and comfort for most body types. Adjustable Thigh Braces: Thigh braces allow you to grip the boat with your inner thighs.This provides greater control of the kayak. These thigh braces can be adjusted to provide optimal fit and control for almost anyone.
