Gracias

Thanks for the responses guys. I will have to test paddle a couple.

Will my Surf-to-Summit GTS seat work on the Hobie?

I will definitely do more old school stretches for the Hams too. Good advice. I have been doing some stretches for my back, and it does help, but the hamstrings do seem to be tight when my back starts hurting. Guess it all ties together.

Endurance plays a factor too, as I am completely exhausted after a long day paddling. I guess getting up at 3:00am, paddling all day and having lots of cervezas will do that to you. But there have been a few times in La Jolla where I drifted south almost without noticing it, and then had to battle uphill against the ripping current for a loooong time and felt like I wasn't making any progress and might not make it back. I did make it back to the launch every time no problem, but was beat tired afterwards. Seems like the peddling can be maintained for a longer period of time without getting worked. Larger muscle group I guess.

Again, thanks for your input, and anyone else feel free to chime in with your .02

Tight lines
