: David,
: Due to time constraints, I usually only adjust the hip pads (I bring a number
: of minicell shims) and the footbraces. If the student brings their own
: kayak I will add hip pads as needed and discuss outfitting options
: regarding the thigh braces, back support, hip support and foot support.
: One old rule of thumb for testing outfitting is that you should be able to
: easily lift the kayak high on edge, while on the ground, with complete
: control. Also, remember that after outfitting changes, it is wise to have
: the student test that they can exit the kayak without difficulty.: Greg Stamer

Thank you for the info. Makes sense to me. Will pick up some shimming material and more duct tape.
Thanks again,
David
