: Here is a picture of my last one which is working out very well

: As it worked out there is Room in front of the foam block so the
: block forward of it is sliced into three one inch slices which
: can be inserted or removed as required for differing lengths of
: legs.

: Since you have not yet glued in your bulkhead you could position it
: with a few inches to spare and do the same, unless you are tall,
: then you needn't bother, just cut some extra slices for
: shorties.

: I am actually preferring this to foot pegs as it allows more
: options for moving one's feet around. I prefer my feet a little
: closer to the centre than foot pegs usually allow.

: Also, the Angled block is turning out to be very comfortable. I'm
: doing the same with the new shearwater. Hell, minicel is turning
: me into a lazy luxury lover, I am considering lining the entire
: inside of the cockpit in it, except I may fall asleep on the

ET,
Any chance you have a side view pic of the foam block assembly? I'm curious how the block transitions into the sides of the kayak as it looks like it stops about a "foot width" from the side. A pic of the blocks outside of the boat is what I would be interested in seeing....
Thanks,
Bob Beaullieu
