I already put my half-inflated paddlefloat under my knees. It seems to help with the leg soreness, but my feet still seem to fall asleep pretty quick.

I like the way Ross Leidy built his "commercial" seats. I'm thinking of doing the same so I can get a bit better (and more permanent) thigh support.
