In Response To: Re: Padding one's cockpit? (Don Beale)

: The paddle evolution has been an interesting one for me... I have several to
: play with that, for one reason or another, fell out of the
: "favorite" listing. The one I'm thinking of is a good candidate
: except that it's too long, so I thought I'd pick up a take-apart fitting
: and shorten it up a little, and use it for a spare.

Now I see that I had misunderstood your earlier posting... sorry about the "good grief".

But what in cm terms do you think is "too long", and how much would you shorten it? And how does this "too-longedness" make itself felt? just curious.

: cozy. Also, I added heel padding in the cockpit floor and I like that a
: lot! Much more comfortable! The Petrussen Manuver is not any harder in
: either boat. The problem I have there is that the skirt will pop off when
: I slide partway out on one side.

This is interesting. What is the spray-skirt like - suspenders, draw-cord, ... or is it a neoprene job?
