I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

FAQs:

Need the 8" extension straps but not available at Amazon???

Likely.

Is there a metal frame on the bottom as well the back?

There are two metal rods on either side, perpendicular to the back frame, and independent of each other due to the split/hinged cushion between. For me, the lack of connection between the bottom rods decreased stability somewhat. The first two days I used this seat, it offered no support while leaning back--those rods just tip up as you lean back. The third day, something about the way I was sitting kept those bottom rods firm to the seat, and it worked well.

Would this seat work in a sit-upon kayak?

This was a gift for my husband, so I had to ask him. He said since the seats in kayaks vary in shapes, he's not sure if it will or connect underside.

What is the width from outside to outside? It would need to fit inside my kayak.

The width is 16 inches.
