Fitting the kayak seat to your McConks SUP.
Fitting a kayak seat to your McConks SUP stand up paddle board is relatively easy. It’s all about affixing the webbing straps to the aforementioned D-rings and tensioning. The webbing strap tension gives rigidity to the seat and allows a (mostly) comfortable paddling position. We will say that because of a stand up paddle board’s flat deck – unlike a sit on top kay which has a scooped out cockpit area – it’s not quite as efficient as piloting a boat (but it isn’t far off!).
More ways to enjoy your paddling.
As another way to enjoy your McConks inflatable stand up paddle board having the opportunity to sit down and paddle is welcomed by many. It can be particularly good if the water state’s choppy and the breeze is up. Being lower means you’ll make much better headway into wind and not be as wobbly because of your lower centre of gravity.
