Quick Tips | How to Install Kayak Hip Pads

[@maze400]

Can you use these pads for thigh support? My kayak has knee supports but the fixed position is for someone way taller, my knees only contact the back half of the pads.

[@NRSWEB]

You should be able to with the right placement and modification. Here is a link to the product page for one of our kits that does include thigh specific pads. www.nrs.com/padz-kayak-outfit-kit/plrd. Give us a call at 877-677-4327 if you have any additional questions!

Is it possible to glue velcro on to remove the pads? I have a Point 65N Mercury GTX modular kayak and the bow section stores inside the cockpit section, pads would get in the way...

[@NRSWEB]

It could be down but I'm not sure how it will work out. Its also possible that the first time you try to remove the pad you just pull the Velcro off the boat or pad. Getting foam to stick can be a challenge.

Is it possibal to use super glue

[@harley1244]

I would not. Superglue doesn't take the salt water well nor does it provide enough adhesion between rubber and plastic. Even closed cell foam will absorb some product which you don't want with super glue

@@harley1244 Super glue is not flexible and you need something with give that can move with the expansion and flexion that a kayak goes through.
