Had to use old paddle which I though was worn, however the new paddle spun on the shaft whilst kneading.

Kayak numb bum?
Been kayaking a year now and after around an hour in the kayak my bum goes numb. I have a quality seat with backrest and even tried two inches of foam underneath that too but it still returns spoiling the day. However I thought I would take a punt on a pocket of air basically and at £22 not much to lose really. I bought the Pumpkin colour as my kayak is on the same colour scheme but would have chosen a more natural colour if using outdoor trekking etc.
On first use I blew some extra air into the pad as this would be difficult while out on the water and was immediately amazed at the feel of the extra bounce beneath my bum. The pad is very thin at around an 35mm when fully inflated and I was amazed how comfortable my 3 hour kayaking session was absolutely no numbness at all. I was so impressed with the performance that I immediately bought another one for my wife.
