Comfortable kayak?

[Useful Idiot]

There's not a ton of difference in comfort between kayak models themselves, most cockpit areas are very similar, it'll mostly have to do with the seating area. The tarpon seats are real nice and very adjustable so you can change angles and pressure points throughout the day. Some of the high end surf to summit and seairsports seats are also comfortable.

The only difference you'll see between kayak models really is the foot well area. I think the molded foot wells are more comfortable than the foot peg systems, but the problem is you hardly ever fall into the right slot with the molded foot wells. At least for me, my legs always seem to be halfway in between two foot well positions, so the adjustability of the foot pegs is nice if that's the case.

If comfort is your biggest concern you need to worry about the seat. Compare the tarpon seat to the gts expedition or pacific angler, and then that'll determine which kayak models you can look at. Selecting the kayak has more to do with speed, stability, weight capacity, those types of things...
