“So fun to kayak on my SUP! I felt supported enough by the seat to be able to lean into my strokes and I was comfortable with paddling. My only suggestion is having some sort of foot support, perhaps a wedge that can also attach.”
“I am so happy about my decision to buy a Thurso paddle board. I just tested my kayak seat today. It makes me enjoy the season for à longer period of time.”
“We've ordered the Waterwalker 10'6" and 11' SUP. They both are handling great on water. Lots of fun. We are rating the SUP 5 stars. We've also ordered one seat + extra paddle for each SUP to convert as kayak. Unfortunately, the bottom section of the seat (the part a person sits on) is not comfortable (hence the 4 star rating). These seats are expensive and I would expect better comfort out of them. I will look to add some cushioning to them.”
Hi Guillaume, Thanks for the heads up! Stoked you're digging the paddleboards. Sorry to hear the seat isn't what you expected. It'd designed to give you a bit of stability and support your lower back while sitting on the board, but it's 3 to hear you could use more cushioning in the seat. We take your feedback super seriously and will make it part of our design process going forward. While that doesn't necessarily mean we'll make the changes you've requested we'll absolutely consider how to improve the kayak seat going forward. Thanks again for reaching out. Hit us up at contact[at]thursosurf[dot]com with thoughts and feedback or to talk gear and paddling anytime. Keep paddling, Matt Social @ Thurso Surf
“The overall quality of the seat is great had to play around with the straps a couple of times once that was set It functioned Perfectly. Highly recommend the Thurso surf kayak seat for all who want the extra comfort of being able to sit and enjoy the waves”
