I like the backrest that Nick has in his book. It supports your back quite high up, moves with you as you rotate your torso for efficient paddling and tilts down so that it doesn't interfere with rolls. What more could you want?

I fit one in all my sea kayaks, but not in my racing kayaks. As has been mentioned, using a backrest makes paddling less efficient.
