: Doug,
: It just so happens that I finished re-working a Nikumi 19. What I
: did for foot bracing was use some left over strip panel, left
: over from a bulkhead panel, I cut two triangle pieces and glued
: them to the station form. The station form was located about 3.5
: inches from my foot position. I then used mini cell foam blocks
: glued to the foot boards. This gives good support when I roll
: and the middle gives me room to stretch out when I need to. I
: should take more pictures. Like they say a picture is worth a
: thousand words.
: Have fun paddling
: Clayton

Here is a picture of the foot braces made of mini cell foam. Very comfortable and solid enough.
