Dumb question:
Where can you buy a piece of water-proof foam that you can cut and shape to size?

Thanks!

For about $20 you can get an inflatable seat. I like them because you can adjust the cush depending on how much fat you have on your bum etc....
Iceman has them in Sunset Beach OEX

I have one of these and it works great! My hobie revo seat is comfy, but this makes things a lot better.

The Techlift pads from Harmony are pretty good too. They are a foam sticky pad that you can cut to shape. I recommend this or the COD Inflatable.

And if you're weight challenged you can get the ones that are for heavy days, they're extra thick.

i got a cushion, the ones used for the kneels while gardening from Target last year on sale for $5. i like these because they don't deform like a pillow b/c they are more dense and they also have a plastic water repellent type of cover so it won't get water logged. i have been using this with my hobie stock seat and it has been holding up pretty good.
i would also recommend another one for the back.

Found a door mat that is made from recycled foam rubber - looks like flip-flops - $6 at BedBath and Beyond - just need to cut it to size. I wanted one that has a lot of holes to allow water out.

At big lots you can get the puzzle-piece garage floor mats for really cheap
