Okay, this looks really interesting.

I checked out your website/blog.

But, I'm also a little confused about it. Could you explain a little more about the backband in the photo, and about foams 3 & 4?

how does backband stay in place and not slide down to become a butt band?

Oopsflipped- Hehe just solved the problem... I attached a belt to the stern support block and to the backband it comes across the saddle and prevents the backband from sliding down. It looks it should keep it in place most time. I will post a review of this system asap.

Brian- BAckband see previous post. I will post a photo of the system asap.

Foam blocks- 3- it is simply a dashboard with two holes for ur knees. Check this out- http://www.openplayboater.co.uk/c1_outf ... part_2.htm

The trick is that in my outfitting this block is not glued. When you re in the boat the dashboard 3 is jammed between your thighs by the block 4. This allows you to get into the boat comfortably and still get a superb fit and power transmission.

What helps a lot as well are the snowboard bindings coming from behind my hips and not from the sides.
