That's for certain! Thanks for the positive feedback. I've tried lots of things, but so far, these are the most effective strategies I've come across. I'm going to put all three in my van this winter...the sound alarm, the laser projector, and the Blink camera! Be warned rats, I'm out to get you!! 😅
Thanks! I'm pretty happy that I found these two devices. Definitely gives me a better sense of control and peace of mind. With the camera I always know what's happening, so there aren't any surprises when I return home.
I would say thay if you were sat up more and legs flatter in the kayak then the issue would bot be so bad. I have the single version of this kayak and do notice the same issue sometimes so agree somewhat with your theory
I am 6’3” and 248lbs I have had no issues with the supplied seats. The key is to move the strap to the middle of the back, curve the sides in against the inside of the boat and tighten the straps
I have a beach chair very good support it actually has metal frame I drill holes in it a connected pvc for rod holders on the back of seat ,so I can troll fish or fish hands free

Yeah, I still plan on getting wet but it seems way better with the drip notch in my case. Depends on lots of factors... angle of the stroke, depth, speed, etc. Maybe try experimenting by adding duct tape to make the notch even more pronounced. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for your suggestion. An option to consider is adjusting the seat straps so the seat back leans forward and straps are tight. This works as well. Thanks again for your suggestion.
We ordered 2 of these kayaks. First trip was just ok. Seats that came with it were not great. So I ordered two of these seats and we hit the local river again. And it was okay-ish but the inflatable seat did not want to play well with the stadium seat. Really truth be told I don’t like the inflatable kayaks and wish I had not bought them. We don’t have good storage for regular yaks and I’m not going to all the hullabaloo of j-racks etc. I have thought about the folding kayaks but thorough research tells me it would not be what we wanted either. We will stick with what we bought but how often we will use them is the question. Not often.
I've been troubleshooting the seat on my Challenger because the back of it has been deflating pretty badly (it's 7 years old) and this seems like a great idea, thanks!
Thanks for the tips! I like the fact that you explained everything so thoroughly and the duct tape drip notch looks like a great addition to any paddle
Hi Kevin, thanks for your comment. We did try several times without the stadium seats, but we found ourselves leaning too far back and it always became uncomfortable no matter how much we tried to adjust the straps. The stadium seats make a huge difference for comfort and now we simply wouldn't use the kayak without them.
Have had an inflatable kayak for over a year but the lack of back support has always been a killer for me! Just ordered this seat so hopefully it will help. Thanks for the tip!
