In Response To: Other: Float Bag / Foot Pegs? (Doug S)

: I'm trying to figure out what to do for my kayak's foot pegs
: (yost-style SOF). I finally got it off of the strongback last
: night and sat in it! I've been on the fence with what to do for
: foot braces/pegs. I noticed last night that the bow float bag
: runs right up to where my feet would go.

: Does anyone see anything against using that as my foot rest?

: I'm wondering about wear + tear on the clear plastic vinyl bag
: (pushing would cause it to rub the frame).

: Thoughts? Opinions? Witty commentary?

: -Doug

You could also add a layer of minicell over the bulkhead/floatbag to protect it from abrasion, just cut it to wedge it in place, your feet will hold it in position. I can't bring myself to add weight to these very light boats.
