: What are my options for foot braces on a SOF?
: I have not put them in any of my kayaks as of yet, but this Sea Bee
: I am building... yeah, I want some in it.
: Also, my daughter in her Sea Pup... she says she does not want
: them, but I think once she has them she'll change her mind.
: So I am at the point where its time to consider what to put in for
: foot braces.... what are my options.
: I really dont want to buy any.

: Can I build my own?
: I have seen foam blocks placed in front of the crossection to rest
: feet on...
: I have seen a board with notches cut out for what seems to be the
: side of your foot to rest on...
: hmmmm.... any other possibilities?

: Happy 4th ....

SOF has to have floatbags anyway, I just position the front one so I can rest my feet on it. Saves weight and building time.
