SPECIAL ACCESSORIES.   Included in all of our kayak kits.

KAYASEAT ~ FOOT BRACES ~ PIVITPADS

Our kits include some important and essential items, items that would normally cost you a lot of money if you were to upgrade to similar items. We include them because we believe that most paddlers really want the best. They shouldn't have to upgrade accessories that aren't up to the task.

KAYASEAT

"State of the Art" seat system

This newly developed KAYASEAT includes a fully adjustable backrest. It's based on upgrades that are recommended by experts, experts that recognize that being properly fitted into your kayak is essential, especially if you hope to be able to paddle comfortably for more than an hour or so without getting cramped up.
The seat itself is formed to fit your backside. In fact we provide instructions to enable you to customize it for a perfect fit. It's also made in such a way as to lower the center of gravity considerably thereby increasing stability of your kayak.
The seat and hip pads are cut from 3 inch thick Minicell foam.
The backrest is made from a special plastic that follows the side to side curve of your back. It's padded and fully adjustable forward or back as well as up or down. It's tall enough to ensure support for your back from the lumbar area all the way up over the top edge of the cockpit. You can even increase or decrease the amount of padding in the lumbar area if you need to.
All hardware and detailed instructions make it easy to fit and install into your Roy Folland Wooden Kayak.

Many seats and backrests, not nearly as effective as this arrangement are selling at well over a hundred dollars in the USA.
It's included in all of our kits.


FOOT BRACES

Foot brace / rudder control system.

The KEEPERS Foot brace and rudder control system functions faultlessly. It's easy to install and easy to modify to accepot our PIVITPADS rudder control system for the ultimate in rudder control..

The KEEPERS foot braces are are made from high density poly material. The tracks are are a full 15 inches long allowing plenty of adjustment, and they're very strong. The tracks are attached with pads (included) that are epoxied to the inside of the hull. There are no fasteners through the hull.

The foot braces themselves move easily and silently on the tracks. Adjustments are quickly and easily made.

Should you decide to use a rudder, the optional PIVITPADS can easily be added to operate the rudder.

 

PIVITPADS

The Ultimate in rudder control. An extra cost option.(Shown mounted to another type of foot brace).

PIVITPADS enable the advanced paddler to lock the foot braces in the ideal position for bracing and still be able to control the rudder with a simple tilt of the foot. Bracing remains solid and rudder control is positive. PIVITPADS can be attached to the KEEPERS system quickly and easily at any time.

The rudder control line is attached to the PIVITPAD and is provided with an automatic adjuster arrangement for
equalizing on both sides of the kayak.
