Boat Advice?

My Jackson backrest is the best backrest I've ever had, and my G-force has been through about four of them by now from diff makes.

Makes I find bad include:
Immersion Research = worst
Dagger = 2nd worst
Bliss-Stick = 2nd best
Jackson = best

based on comfort and durability.



Not that it matters.

gee kill why can't you just agree with the rest of us

always has to be so awkward

i think my back rest is the dogs dangilies. dead comfy, realy easy to adjust, wont seeze up if i take it into surf. it is simple and ingenious. jody, are you sure you are using it right?

[JODY]

I dunno, the concept of a backrest is a tricky one to figure out Cian.
I'm sure i probably have no idea what i'm doing with it, sure i'm just a girl... enlighten me.

[Sick Boy]

well you see jody it is that thing at the back of the cockpit, (the big round holw in the top of your boat) that looks like a seat belt .............

narkey arent you?

im just saying that you wouldnt be the first person (in this thread) who wasnt using their back rest properly. you seem to be having a lot of difficulty with the back rest, this would indicate that you arent using it properly...

if you are sure youare using it properly, as you seem to be, maybe yours is just faulty. you could try to tie a stopper knot on the rope at a point where your back rest  is comfortable for you. this might help it hold better even if it is a little less adjustable.

[JODY]

The back rest holds fine. The rope system is great, much better than ratchets, it's far simpler & cleaner.
The problem i have is with the backrest itself, as soon as you lean forward at all it slips. It seems to be a common problem.

[Sick Boy]

ah, i get ya. could you not just tighten your back rest up more then?

[JODY]

Nope. I keep it tight enough, but any tighter & then my legs start to cramp, I'm pretty crammed in leg wise in the boat. In fact i probably should get rid of the happy feet completely to be able to get the seat forward a bit.
Sure i'll have a go moving stuff about in Lahinch.
I've heard from a few people that changing the backrest is the way to go though.

i have one problem with the jackson backrest.....its a peice of string.

that is all

[kmck]

You're a piece of string!

I thought that when your legs start to cramp, that's how you know you're in the correct playboating position. Also, when you're finished it takes you ages to get out of the boat because your feet are crippled and your knees are seized up - this is what's called 'a good session.'

As far as I know...

Jim.

[cat halpin]

wohoo! my legs didn't cramp up (that bad) at all on a whole boyne trip in my new allstar, while jim looked about 10 years older after a day out in the liquid logic vision.

sorry Jim.

[Sick Boy]

there was me thinking jim is about ten years older than you...

[Jim]

I wasn't until I started going out with her...

Jim.

The way you two come onto the mesage board to flirt with one another is positively shameless!

I just hope Catherine doesn't get jealous.
