Trampoline seats

I often times hit the water with 4 people aboard. I toyed with building Haka bench seats but first decided to try my luck with clip on sit on top kayak seats. I purchased a cheap Ocean Comfort Plus seat for around $40 and here's the result:




Works great! We gave it a stress test today out on the water with a 160 lb. passenger and the seat gave plenty of comfort. It also helps keep your butt dry as water doesn't penetrate the seat as it does the trampolines (still a wet ride). For a dryer ride on the trampolines we laid down a yoga mat. I was pleased enough to immediately order another seat for the other side. Next I might try building Haka benches and mounting the seats to them.

Nice setup.

I'm doing the same thing on a spine board Haka. I found that the seat bottom moves around so I added a wide velcro strap around the back of the seat bottom and the haka in addition to clipping the seat straps onto the pins in the spineboard.

Nice seat and idea!

Id like to see a pic of the seats on the spine board haka and your rigging. I have that type of haka and recently switched out to the Attwood seats and now have a couple of Hobie seats hanging out in the garage. Sounds like they could be worth keeping. Do you sail from the hakas, do you use a steering pole or your foot for rudder control?
