  • I created a comfortable kayak seat via a DIY kayak seat upgrade for my Jackson Coosa FD by adding kayak seat back support using a cheap stadium cushion for these kayak seat modifications. For a few bucks, I got a fishing kayak seat upgrade that provides great kayak back support.

    Great idea! I recently spent the $43 for the inflatable Thermarest lumbar pillow that a lot of paddlers use. While it is pricey, I will say that it does a good job and the adjustability is nice.
    I'm all about saving money and making your own stuff from scratch. Keep posting videos and thanks for sharing the great ideas!

    I gotta make one of these for sure. And maybe wrap mine with some kind of fabric. Maybe fabric from an old frogtog rain suit I have laying around...thanks for the great idea.

    I've found the best way to stick anything foam or EVA together is weldwood Contact Cement.
    Let both sides dry and when you touch them together... Instant bond so line them up with registration marks while dry.

    Do you think the people at your local Dollar Store are wondering why they're selling pool noodles in the off-season? :)
    Nice inexpensive hack 👍

      Actually, they do not have them now. I had to pull this one out from the inside of my hull! lol... buoyancy hack will not fail! One noodle short!

    Great idea! It looks comfortable. Try a child's foam, floaty board from Dollar Tree. It was a little stiff.

    • @KayakhacksFishing
      @KayakhacksFishing  5 років тому

      The floaty board is the next solution once they come back in stock!

    Interesting. Gonna cut to the chase and keep doing planks. Best thing I can do for my back is strengthen my core. I realize that might not be a option for some. An adjustable option is cutting the “pillow” off an old air mattress.

      I stretch for 10 min before i go out and i use an icy hot patch works amazing

    Excellent hack. A word of caution re: the tape. I used FLEX tape to cover two holes on the seat of my tractor. The seams curled up one day and deposited adhesive residue on the seat of my shorts. SheWhoMustBeObeyed was unhappy...very unhappy. If I put heavy duty tape on a backrest, I'd make sure it ended on the sides, and not on the part that contacted my back.

      Sorry, since I do not own that model, I am at a loss. Perhaps you can search UA-cam and find the answer.

    Hay here is another dollar store hack buy the three pack of bungee cords and three packs of carebeaners and you get three rod leashes just cut off the plastic ends off shove the bungee cords ( not the metal bands ) push catebeaners through the loop

    Any time you start modifying use cardboard or newspaper for the pattern first.

    • @stevenashley7651
      @stevenashley7651 3 роки тому

      How would you use flat cardboard to simulate a round pool noodle?
