After years of marathon canoe racing in the 1970s, I’m very familiar with molded fiberglass seat that are used in racing canoes. While not very traditional looking, they are pretty comfortable. After some long days of paddling in our quest to complete the paddling of the Connecticut River from source to sea, I have suggested to my wife that I make a custom seat for her. I proposed having her stand on her head while I molded a custom kevlar seat over her upside down derrière. So far, she hasn’t volunteered.
