Pacific Angler Seat Issues - Bottom Slipping Out
 
The last two trips I have had the yak out, the bottom started slipping out so that instead of paddling with my body at a 90-100 angle, I found myself at a 130-150 angle.

I tried cinching down all of the straps when I took it out yesterday and that worked for about 30-45 minutes and then it started slipping again.

Anything I can do about it, short of sewing the straps together...?

The seat's pretty new - been used maybe 5 times now altogether - on a XFactor.

Set the angle you want and tie a knot with the excess strap. I had to do this on mine.

I found that seats seemed to slip on every Kayak I owned/paddled.
My solution was to hit Home Depot and bought "Industrial Strength" Velcro.
I dislike the front end of all my seats (HOBIE/Pacific Angler) slipping around and lifting up so I Velcroed them down. Used Goop to get Velcro to stay if backing glue wore out!
This is just a suggestion that worked for me!
Hope this helps.

Thanks, appreciate the suggestions. Might have to give the velcro a shot.

How long before malibu comes out with their own lawn chair model...........
