Skwoosh Dragonboat Canoe Rowing Gel seat pad with Loop Carry Handle for Sitting Comfort | Outrigger Accessories

When I opened the package, I wasn’t sure that this small pad would help at all! My first practice out in the water proved me wrong. I was surprised at how much this pad helped. Other than being sore from the drills, my butt felt fine. It stayed in place, and has a little loop for easier carrying!

If you sit on a flat piece of wood, i think it may be good. for a molded plastic kayak seat it doesn't do much and don't bother.

After reading multiple reviews on the various seat pads I went with the Skwoosh. I wasn't thrilled about the price relative to the other brands but the reviews sold me. Initially I had difficulty, meaning it was difficult to align my rear on the gel pads since they're 4" in dia. and I couldn't tell where they were at when I sat. Also I had the dip, or gap towards the front. After turning the pad around so the gap was aligned with the dip in the back of the seat (DOH) things were much better. To be honest my butt still gets sore but I'm rowing for an hour at a pace of 23-24 strokes/min. and it isn't nearly as bad as before. As can be seen from the pictures the pad fits fine on a Concept2 rower and doesn't move around. If they made it with 6" dia. pads, or the whole thing gel it would be better in my opinion. Of course it would cost more but would be worth the price.

I purchased it for a dragon boat seat and have been using it for 3-4 months now. It does the job well but it won't be very comfortable. Since i started using it, no butt sores or pain ever happened. It stays in place nicely.

Husband love’s it
