Product Description

Sea kayakers often spend many hours in their boats.  That's just the nature of the sport we choose! Because we're sitting in our boats for long periods, it's important that we're as comfortable as we can possibly be.  Discomfort will impinge on paddling performance and endurance...and that can be dangerous at sea!  

The SilverStorm Foam Seat is made from a specially selected closed cell foam which offers the paddler warmth, resiliency and easy customising.  The seat has been cut to give maximum fore/aft length and height to make your paddling trips as comfortable as possible.  By following these simple instructions, this SilverStorm Foam Seat will give you many years of paddling comfort.

Colour: Dark Grey/Charcoal (a bit darker than in the pic)
Includes two side pieces if you want to pad the sides of your seat (you will need to shape them yourself & Sikaflex in place).

Instructions:

  1. Peel off the lower layer of velcro from the bottom of the seat and use this shape to mask up the bottom of your cockpit in the desired seat position.
  2. Roughen the surface of the area prior to applying adhesive (Sikaflex is best for composite / fibreglass kayaks)
  3. Apply Sikaflex to the masked up area and allow to cure 24 hours. The masking tape can be removed earlier.
  4. If the seat requires further shaping to fit the seat space (narrow kayaks) or your backside, you can gradually shape the foam using coarse sandpaper.

If you are frequently removing the seat to clean or adjust the position, hold down the edge of the velcro when removing the seat to avoid peeling away the Sikaflex (no adhesive is perfect - particularly on smooth surfaces!).

  1. mirage 532 stability 4 Star Review

    Posted by on 12th Dec 2022

    Bought a new custom made 532 Kevlar IRT mirage sea kayak and was a bit dissapointed with the stability, it seemed like I was sitting very high compared to all my other sea kayaks I've owned, (approx 12) asked around and many responses led me to buy this seat. After a bit of cutting and sanding it is a perfect fit, sitting quite a bit lower and stability is improved


  2. Amazing Seat 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 17th Feb 2022

    The most comfortable seat in 40 yrs of paddling. Just a light sand to round off the top edges a bit, stuck it in the boat, and perfect from day 1. After 2 yrs use, incl a pain free 500km Murray trip I'm tempted to buy a spare in case this was ever stolen.
