  Contemplating whether to go with the seat supplied with the DUck 10 or buy another. Opinions on what might be best? Not that I need alot of support, but what comes with the kit seems minimal but maybe adequate? Thanks, ---

I have found the standard seat (in my WD-12) surprisingly comfortable. But I haven't tried the fancy seats. The longest I have been out at a time has been ~2 hours. I would say try the seat out 1st before buying another. I went out paddeling last Friday for the 1st time this year for about 1 1/2 hrs on a local reservoir. My rear end & back were fine. It was a very nice day and very calm. There was a large white pelican on the lake as well as ducks, geese, cormorants, etc. I think I talked with everyone fishing, either from the shore or by boat, and they were not doing any good- 1 catfish & 1 trout.  Ralph ---

Tom,   I too am very happy with the standard seat in my WD12 with the addition of a Therm-a-Rest Kayak cushion held in place (on top of the cushion) by Velcro.  I have been out for 3+ hours and was great.  The nice thing about the Therm-a-Rest is that you can adjust the amount of air inside for the perfect fit. It seems that seats are a very personal thing.  I would try the stock seat and adjust as necessary.  I know some people that swear by the creature comfort seat, so that may be an option for you. Hope this helps. Dan Kehlenbach Anchorage, AK  ---

I'm glad this subject came up. Just today i received my Rapid Pulse back band and some Minicell foam. My 6-year old was out in the shop when i opened the box and asked what the foam stuff was for. when I had finished explaining the detials of making a seat in great detail...he looked me straigh in the eye and said. " i dont think its enough for your big bottom". its was pretty funny. If the foam is more comfortable than the wooden seats in my Millcreek i will be happy, cheers jon  ---

LOL. Not sure if we lose something when we teach them courtesy. In the meantime, I'm partial to my [Creature Comfort](http://www.clcboats.com/shop/products/boatgear/kayak_comfort/0000-CCS00-CRE.html)seat that CLC sells. (It's even on sale today for just about the same price I paid for it 4-5 years ago.) I spent a continuous 8 hours on it in my WD12 last year.

A little more on the Therm-a-rest seat, and using it for double duty.  It actually does triple duty: sleeping pad, comfortable kayak seat, and flotation in a capsize.  It substitutes for a paddle float. I have re-entered my Wood Duck propping the paddle on the floating Therm-a-rest chair and it was so stable it was as if my kayak had sprouted an out-rigger.   http://www.wetdawg.com/pages/touring/kayaking\_therma\_rest/index\_sk.php
