newbie spark outfitting question

Post by knu4me »

I have a factory outfitted spark that I have had out about six times. I noticed the last time (longest trip so far 4 hrs otr) that my ankles were turning to the outside of the boat. Was thinking about speading the toe blocks out or making them longer so my feet would be farther apart. Anyone have any suggestions?
thanks

Move your pegs back a notch. If your coming up on a difficult set, move them forward again.

Do your ankles hurt?

I will try moving the pegs back. I have also read on here about shin blocks.
I might give them a try. I notice my ankles after a while and when I get out its pretty
Uncomfortable . Could be just the way it is . Thanks for the tip

I don't use pegs. Just yank 'em out and try it without them.
