Yes, our taller seats rock when it comes to all day paddling, but they are not always the best for kayak surfing. A taller kayak seat is better for distance paddling or for hours on the water. However, they don't perform as well when taking off too late on a wave and perling. Being able to lean back in this instance is what shorter kayak seats enable you to do. You need a fine balance of lasting support and flexibility in the waves and that's what the Performance Back Band dishes out. You get the versatility of being able to lean way back in your kayak and the luxury of fatigue reducing back support when paddling out. The seats wide range of motion makes it an ideal choice for high-level surfing. The Performance Back Band is built with our proprietary thermo molding technology so it can withstand the test of time on the water. The backrest is compression molded under 60 tons of pressure and baked at 400°, thereby permanently bonding the fabric to the foam. This process makes our kayak seats last considerably longer than any cut and sewn kayak seat. A step up from the Outfitter Back Band, the Performance features a bound edge and a molded dimple pattern. Simple attachments make this backrest a breeze to attach to any sit on top kayak.
