How has this guy only got 84 subscribers! that was very professional and better than most company vids, well done mate.
Thanks amigo!
It's because he only got illiterate fans. It is a good video however.
Yes, great video!
Extremely well described, thought out and consisely explained video on this topic. Thanks dude!
Thank you for this great video! It's super helpful to see the differences between the seats and the pros and cons of each.
I love the inclusion of style points! Lol You answered qustions i didnt even know i had yet. Just got my boad today and super excited to paddle the kids around on it!
Clear and informative. Nicely done, and thank you!
Thank you for the great info.. and the puppy insert was hilarious.
Really great video. Thanks for taking the time to describe the pros and cons of each one.
This is one of the most useful videos I've come across regarding kayak seats. Thank you so much!
Thanks!
Thanks! Very thoughtful and thorough reviews.
Thanks! This was invaluable ... gotta love good solid information NOT influenced by a sales interest. Just what I needed.
Glad it answered questions you had!
Very clear and well explained. Thanks!
Such a great video and explanation. Thank you from down here in Australia
Truly one of the best videos in this category that I've seen. Informative, right balance/level of detail and great explanation. Someone who really knows what they're doing. You just got a new subscriber. I'm probably going to go with the Costco Body Glove Performer iSUP and the RA220 perfectly raised seat. Want the versatility to somewhat comfortably use for fishing as well.
You’ll like that SUP. Hope the seat treats you well too!
Wow ! This is a very good video should have 100k views .
Thank you ! I struggled to find a video that gave a variety of seat options
Hey Thanks! Glad it was helpful. Are there any other kinds of paddling videos you've also had a hard time finding? I'm wondering what I should make next.
EXACTLY what I was looking for - slight difference - to use in an inflatable kayak (Tobin from Costco). Leaning toward a stadium seat as it would sit flatter
Thx a mil. Great presentation, great comparison. I'm the example of the buyer who got tempted by soft chair being included in the package.
The truth is, I don't use it at all. Neither do my daughters, as the chair turns SUP into one person board rather then 2 ppl.
Wish I saw your video before.
Great work mate!
Man this was a really great and informative video. Thanks!
I like the Aquaglide AG frame seat too.
150$ for a seat? Thats how much i paid for my whole paddle with accesories. Greetings from Poland, we very poor.
Great video! Thank you. ❤
Well done! Great info nicely edited.
Thanks - I hope you check out another video I have coming up in a couple weeks.
Wow i am surprised by the number of views and subscribers, you deserve a million of each just for this video. Keep up the good work, I am sure you will get far. Cheers!
Thanks!
Thank you for you tips. I originally bought paddleboards for my children. Now that they are older, they don't use them so much, plus I would like to use them like a lake kayak, until I can afford a real lake kayak. Thanks
Which one was the best fit for you?
A. Lower Framed Stadium Seat (Around $50) --- amzn.to/3cEvESA
B. Slightly raised Stadium Seat (Around $50) --- amzn.to/3nFxBzQ
C. Framed perfectly-raised Kayak Seat (Around $150) --- amzn.to/3UKreLV
I personally own and use all the gear I recommend. I believe trust matters, and recommendations should come from actual users of the product. I'm also an Amazon affiliate, and earn a small commission if you decide to buy any of the gear I recommend.
Great video, thank you
Fantastic review
Super useful thanks
Not sure how this came into my feed but glad it did. Been thinking about getting the first one from HALA as at this point I am probably 85% sitting. I am also very large so really glad you added that into this video. I don't mind just sitting on the board but yes I am always wet and yes my back starts to hurt some but that is when I just lay back for a bit or stand or kneel. Never thought of these others and my only question would have been how much are they in the way when switching positions. Awesome job and thanks for saving me the money on one that sounds like I would have hated.
Such great video 👏 👏 👏
Awesome video. Thank You
Thanks
Thank you
Holy crap, thank you! I am a taller and heavier guy and almost bought one of those cheap seats you talked about 1st. I’m for sure going to give the third chair a try!
Glad this was a good resource for ya!
Really enjoyable videos! I wanted to add another seating alternative I used to use in my Meyers Sportspal Canoe, just a folding blade footed lawn chair. Similar to a Larry Chair but a bit higher seating. So, with my new inflatable SUP, I did order its available kayak seat but decided to buy a Pooya Folding Camping Chair from Wayfair (cheaper than a kayak seat and free shipping). It is rated to 265 lbs. and I have yet to receive it but I think it'll work great. So, for someone who wants to fish and paddle primarily standing but wants to sit down to re-tie or eat lunch or fish sitting, this is a good and light alternative to add to, say, a cooler seat. This one weighs 6 lbs. and can be strapped to a SUP just like any other. I'm here in Texas, will let you know how it works out.
Cool, I’ll wait to hear :)
Good ideas
haha love the puppy
Thank you so much for this vido !
Of course! I hope it answered your questions well. If it did, consider subscribing to my channel to help me reach my goal of 1,000 subscribers. Thanks again:)
Yeah those fabric seats are really kayak seats, which do provide the sturdiness behind them in the cockpit. My SUP came with one and it's not quite the feeling.
I've been thinking of going with a sit on top kayak for a while, but now I'm leaning towards an inflatable sup, I can just leave it in the car after it dries, no strapping to the roof. Get one of these chairs, add some kind of pedal power, plus I might try out the standing up position when I get my sea legs.
Whatever you choose, I hope you enjoy the time on the water :) An inflatable Paddleboard will need a little deeper water (4-6” more) than a sit on top kayak, as a Paddleboard has a rear fin that goes deeper in the water than a kayak. Besides that, there isn’t much difference between the two options. Go with what works best for you!
That was helpful!!
Very informative, just got vinyl solid/soft(webbing) dinghy handles for the additional four attachment points, have to add d-rings to the webbing ones, now i know I will add cushion pocket to at least one of the two cheap type that came with the cheap kayak, but won't be used other than a towable, as the cheap deal kayak($100.can) was just the cheapest option for seats and paddles to use with the far preferable (14psi)SUP ($236.can) that now thanks to your information, will be more safe and comfortable than heavier (0.7psi)kayak, good advising, for my near future industrial sewing(adding d-rings to glue-on patches, and additional height pocket for soft fold up seats) of course gonna glue the patches to my high-end home-depot discount SUP. I'm dumb, but I'm not a dweeb!
great vid
A beach seat with the canvas mat works great. Your but is directy on the board. Buy a board with lots of tie downs
Awesome video. The puppy was a great help. If I don't have a puppy at the beach, will a kitten work as well?
I used my framed pedal kayak seat on my paddleboard when I didn't feel like dealing with my 85 lb kayak. It was terribly uncomfortable paddling without being about 5 inches above the deck of the board and even then after a few hrs I became uncomfortable.
You seem to be forgetting a very important factor -- and this is just as relevant to SoT or sit-inside kayaks: the paddler's ability to sit upright on their own. I have always had the flexibility to do that. For me the best seatback is the smallest, providing the least support. I've seen too many cases where a large high setback gets in the way of everything.
Huh. Just standard stadium seats? I have those parent maybe I'll try it. With the bell Crow straps once I get my board I just ordered
I wanna do a bucket mount
Please do on with the best paddle board coolers.
I'd like to do that - hoping to find time soon! (sorry for the delayed response, I read this when you posted it but didn't reply)
Do you place the kayak seat right in the middle off the board or the front of the seat just behind the center handle
I’d like to see that video on the coolers, especially from a paddle board standpoint (pun intended).
#pun! I'll try to make a quick blog post on my www.texaspaddleboard.com site, then holler when that's ready. The video takes a little longer to make, but I'll shout when that's up. Subscribe to stay in the loop! If I can reach 1,000 subscribers this year then I'll give the channel more effort than I already am.
yo just a heads up, Ozark Trail makes a stadium seat that's pretty nice for 15 bucks. My wife and I both use them on our boards, pretty awesome for the price, and decently comfy.
Wow you're right! Looks like it's only at Wal-Mart, then eBay. That's for sure the least expensive framed + slightly raised stadium seat. Great tip! How do you prefer to attached them to your SUP's? Do you use one of the three way's in my video or something different?
@@texaspaddleboard7797 I use the second option you showed with the buckles, but I made custom ones permanently attached to the seat so they wouldn't get lost. I love how quickly the seat can be removed and stowed with that method.
I'm glad you found a easy, simple solution! If I didn't lend out my SUPs to friends I would totally do the same thing. The buckles are so slick!
Great video...thankyou:- Question...I am in Europe and often want to leave my gear to go to a restaurant etc...do you have tips on how to secure your paddle, board, accessories? Sadly these days over here things need to be locked..or they go 'walkies' 🤫😏
Hey, good question. The trouble with locking any of your paddling gear is the things you would attached a lock or cable to are soft materials like handles or straps - which can be easily cut. You may be better served by getting a simple tracking device like this and being able to help the police trace whoever stole your stuff: amzn.to/3AOeRa3
I just wanted to let you know that Walmart sells a cheaper $20 version of the stadium seats, all the first 3 varieties, actually. The issue is that it has a bar on the top of the seat back, so it'll probably end up hurting after a while is my guess.
Just purchased this same walmart stadium seat, look forward to using it
i just use a cooler with a pad on it works great for when i dont wanna stand anymore
I love these options especially the framed seats but doesnt the frame damage the board surface. Great video. I paddled 2.5 hrs today with the first option and it sucked. thanks
The framed seats don’t damage the SUP if the SUP has EVA foam on top.
Great video. Just what I was looking for. What do you do about the stadium seat hook on the bottom?
I figured it out. The hook is attached with a lock nut so once I loosened the lacing on the seat fabric I was able to remove the hook.
@@andreafollo8934 correct you can totally do that. The hook stays clear of the SUP for me even if not removed, so I haven't bothered to remove it yet. Maybe i will, i like the idea.
Hi, amazing video but I couldn't found the link for the cooler wit rod holders, can you put that? Thank and good luck
Hi, This is the little white Engle cooler I use for fishing. The rod holders come with it but you don't have to attach any or all of them. They just bolt on or unscrew off easy. I love it. amzn.to/3psek6A
Also using a cooler or a fisherman's bucket for a seat seems interesting is there anything to them that might be interesting
Yeah, a small cooler works great for smaller to average-size people. For larger people (over 6 feet tall, 250+ lbs) a cooler can raise your center of gravity high enough to be a bit less stable.
Thanks for this. I have a question you might or might not be able to answer. I have an Airvolution 2 rigid inflatable kayak (drop stitch construction, much like a paddle board). Do you think the pressure of the base rail of the BKC seat is going to wear on the kayak floor? I’ve only had the kayak out for a couple of 3 hr paddles and I’ve already decided a seat upgrade is an absolute must. Cheers. - Tom
Hey @TomDearie the floor of your Airvolution2 looks to have a 2-layer PVC base, so that's a strong start. I don't see the denier listed (basically the weight or thread-count of the material) but based on the price its probably not the cheap stuff you see on $250 paddleboards. I'd say you should feel safe with almost any other seat in your inflatable kayak, but if you do get something like this one here, amzn.to/36I3fIx or here amzn.to/3nFxBzQ , just (1) be sure to secure the seat to those d rings well so the seat doesn't rub back and forth much and (2) consider getting a small piece of EVA foam to put under the back corner of the seats because most the weight will and rubbing will be there.
@@texaspaddleboard7797 Thanks. 😎 That’s the thought I had - I’ve been looking around for an undermat to distribute the weight and prevent chafing (on the floor, not my backside 😳). Cheers. 👍
@@texaspaddleboard7797 NOT for a $120..what a rip off
Should I roll or for my inflatable paddle board?
So here's a puppy instead 😎👍🏻
Have you tried any of the saddle type seats? I prefer to kneel, but my knees are less enthusiastic. I was thinking of something like one of the meditation style seats. No idea if there are such things you can strap to the board.
I haven't tried the seats like paddle-sit. Sometimes I like to kneel and paddle like a canoe, too. I've found kneeling on just one knee (like the stereotypical "marriage proposal") is more comfortable, better balance, and easy to alternate between knees.
I have a foam stand up paddle board and it does not have d-rings on it so I need to add those don't know exactly how to do it but maybe you could do a short video on adding d rings
The d-rings that you can add on are for the inflatable PVC material paddleboards. I'm not aware of any d-rings that attached to the solid foam ones like yours. But you can still use a small stadium seat without attaching it to a d-ring - its not a problem.
Great video. My board came with a flat folding seat but I want to get a raised seat. However, my board only has 2 d-rings. Would I still be able to attach it?
You have 3 options: 1 get the d-ring patches and glue which would work fine but not jive with the color of your board. The good news is the D-Rings can be added easily. You can buy different color patch D-Rings like these: amzn.to/3Pddu8L and the glue like this amzn.to/3P7ARAq to add them on yourself.
Option 2 is use strap tie down all around the board. Option 3 is try it without latching down the seat. I’ve used the seat without securing it down and it’s not a big deal.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Is there any advice or no-go on glueing D-ring to properly clip a seat. We have the body-glove Performer 11 SUP model.
Merci beaucoup!
That's a good board. I think gluing a D-Ring to a board is fine, just don't let the extra glue that squeezes out the side stay and make a mess. Some people worry too much what the board looks like vs how well they enjoy using it. Make your board as enjoyable for you as possible. I have a gopro mount on mine, and a stickyflask mount attached to it and I love having them on there.
@@texaspaddleboard7797
Thank you so much!
Looks to me that someone should develop a chair from a cooler with a backrest and a rod and cup holder. I’ll take a small royalty for the idea 😊
heh - it is a good idea! Looks like a few people have tried it, but not really well-done yet:
amzn.to/3UjD9jm - strap on seat
amzn.to/3Si7qgN - seat with cooler behind and rod holders
amzn.to/3BPZw8R - a really big cooler seat for fishing boats
Not sure how you feel about this versus a kayak. I’m debating if I should get an inflatable kayak or sup w/chair for travel. I love sitting in my kayak!!
Hi, If you don't intend to use it as a stand-up paddleboard, and only plan on sitting down, then a kayak tends to be able to handle better in shallow water than a paddleboard with a deep 8" or longer rear fin. A stand-up paddleboard with a seat is an good kayak, but not a great kayak. If you want a great kayak, you'll need to spend a little money on a good inflatable or solid kayak. If you want a great combo of versatility and price, an inflatable paddleboard with seat is good.
but would an budget drop-stitched sup (converted to kayak) defeat an budget non-dropstitch a la intext, in the ocean?@@texaspaddleboard7797
Which of these would you recommend for the Origami Paddler, the seat it comes with is not supportive enough!
Good question. I hear it’s seat isn’t great. My best guess would be the green Ozark Trail one in my video, because the bottom is soft and likely to fit fine in the specific shape of the Origami Paddler. And it has great back support that doesn’t require clipping the seat to the kayak.
hi, what else would u recommend for new users who love fishing or recording stuff.. is it possible to adjust camera or fishing rod on sup? Thank
Yes, you can stick a gopro mount on a SUP - just use the regular adhesive mount that comes with a GoPro. Fishing is best with a cooler that has a rod holder attached to it. Consider the 19 quart Engle cooler.
You could also velcro that stadium seat right onto the board, and same with a cooler, right?
Yeah, I've done that before. its easy and inexpensive, but the velcro can be a little cumbersome after a few "take-on-and-off's" because other stuff starts to stick to it.
Where can I get the straps to attach the raised kayak seat to the D-rings?
Good question - in the video description I put a link to them all. If you’re watching the video on your phone, click the video title “My favorite kayak seats…” and the description will open up. Click “more to see all of it and they are all listed in there.
I would like to have seat and be able to stand or kneel. Seems like #3 best for kneeling. 2ndly, can u stand w any of these?
You can easily stand with all of them. When I stand with any of them, I stand in front of the chair about 4-8 inches. The first type of seats (the collapsible clip on ones) will collapse when you stand 90% of the time, so when you sit back down you'll need to adjust the seat back to the normal position. But overall, none of the seats have been in my way when I want to stand.
Can you show how you board the board when using a hard framed chair.
I’ll try to get some GoPro footage if that next time I use it.
@@texaspaddleboard7797 thx ,seen a couple guy doing shore and dock boardings.
Is this doable if I don't have side rings that far back on my SUP? if I use the simpler stadium seat, I can just sit in it on my board and it probably won't slide around on the surface will it ?
It doesn’t slide around, the only thing that would make it move is if you sit then stand then sit again and nudge it as you sit.
how does the framed (lower) seat work with an inflatable? Seems like a strange combination.
It does sound non-intuitive at first, but it works fantastic and actually looks really normal when a person is seated in it. When you look at it when someone is not seated in it you might think to yourself "That's weird - I've never seen that before" but then you see it used & properly strapped down and realize it fits like a glove :)
How did you attach the GCI stadium seat to the D-Rings?
STRAPS:
1. Velcro 12” x ¾” - amzn.to/35bNU2s
2. Clip with loops straps - amzn.to/3O9ne3E
3. Tie downs - amzn.to/35zTJGA
Sadly most of the paddle boards available here in Canada don’t have both sets of d rings available to attach the seat. Some will have only one or none
True, but the good news is the D-Rings can be added fairly easily. you can buy different color patch D-Rings like these: amzn.to/3Pddu8L and the glue like this amzn.to/3P7ARAq to add them on yourself.
What width should your board be for a seat? Woukd 28 inch be to narrow? 30" be enough or is 32" yhe way to go?
28 would still work but most SUP’s for river and lake use are 30 or wider.
Question im used to a SOT but mine is getting heavy so now considering Sup
With seat
My question doesnt a raised seat make it more unstable for more choppy waters or in general
Is a SUP even suitable for choppy waters
Hey Simon, If a seat on a paddleboard is raised anywhere between 1-4 inches it doesn't raise your center-of-gravity high enough to make any difference. Once your seat is 5-7 inches high, then it MIGHT make a difference if your SUP is less than 30 inches wide or you weight over 200 lbs or your height around 5-foot 10-inches or taller. If you're lighter or shorter, than even a 5-7 inch lift will still be navigable in mild choppy water. I've paddled on the coast, and know what that choppy feeling is like, and I've also SUP fished. My experience is for choppy water (like the coast or a really windy day at the lake) is nothing is a great as a good sit-inside kayak. But in choppy water a 31-33" wide SUP with a somewhat low seat is okay for just paddling, but somewhat difficult for SUP fishing. Hope that helps. Do me a favor and subscribe to my channel - I'm trying to reach 1,000 subscribers!
Thank you i did subscribe youre very informative
I kayak on the east coast in brooklyn and allways have to deal with choppy waters strong currents and winds in the bay. So to ge honest still very hesitant about feeling safe on a Sup vs my sot
That's reasonable. I wish you the best as you decide between using your sit-on-top kayak vs an inflatable SUP vs a high-pressure inflatable kayak etc.
So, We have hard paddleboards, which seat should I get? I am 200lbs x 5.11
I'd start with one of these two from my video description, and if your SUP has no d-rings to attach them to, just use 1 tie-down strap around it:
--Framed but lower Stadium Seat (Around $50): amzn.to/3t8sYRY
--Framed slightly-raised Stadium Seat (Around $50): amzn.to/3nFxBzQ
--Tie downs - amzn.to/35zTJGA
Is it a big deal to not strap the seat down? Will it shift around when paddling if not strapped?
no, not at all. I don't always attach it down.
Best sup board seat is your cooler
I do love my cooler.
Do you recommend any electric motor options?
I don't have much experience with adding an electric motor to a paddleboard, unfortunately.
They have lifted cushions that are only 15 for the first options it changed everything for it. Dont need to spend 150.
@snaplord that’s awesome - do you have a link to one you like? I’d be curious to try one.
If you are using a seat, isn't it better to attach your leash to the front of the board? Seems like dangerous entanglement would be an issue running a leash from rear of board past the seat.
If you're using a seat I wouldn't recommend using a leash. Instead, be sure to wear a life jacket. The leash is important for stand-up paddle boarding or surfing in the ocean so you don't get separated from your board in a current, but kayaks and leashes generally are not used together.
👍🏼👍🏼🇲🇽
Bought a paddle board, and realized that I need a seat for my paddle board. My paddle board doesn't have any strap for the seat. Can u recommend a seat for paddle board that doesn't have seat strap?
Yeah, for that situation, get the #3 seat I recommend in the video description. Then do one of the two options: (1) get 1 or 2 tie-down straps, and one your sup is fully inflated tie-down the seat through the bottom part of the chair. Then cut the extra part of the strap except for 3-6 inches slack. (2) buy and attach on some d-ring patches by doing an Amazon search for “paddle board d ring patch” and attaching the d-ring patches with PVC stitch “liquid pvc” glue. Super strong.
Very nice, ... but all chairs currently unavailable🤨

What if my iSUP doesn’t have Drings?
If you don't have D-Rings, you can either buy d-ring patches, (search amazon for SUP D Ring) or use a tie-down strap after the board is fully inflated (this isn't ideal, and will create drag in the water). It's okay to use a seat without attaching it if you're on a lake or somewhere calm.
where is the link for the rod holder?
The cooler that comes with the rod holders is this Engle 19 quart cooler: amzn.to/3A33gSO

I don't own one, but couldn't you just use a low beach chair. They are basically what you called a low stadium seat. They are like 10. I might try using mine in my kayak
Yeah you could. You need to be mindful they are wider and can get in the way of a paddle stroke. les important, they look tacky, imho.
The best is paddlesit
I've never seen one in person. The videos about them look like they are awkward to use. Do you have one?
Why not just sit on the cooler like you do in your video? A cooler with a soft top ?
Good question. The cooler is pretty high, and most people (especially heavier people) would loose a lot of stability. I’m a pretty short, light, athletic person so its not much of an issue for me, but I would not universally recommend it.
How can a ten inch seat be any less stable than me standing up
Fair question. It’s less stable vs other seats that are lower, which was the comparison I was referring to. But seats with legs are “different” than standing because when you are seated you cannot shift weight from side to side (foot to foot) like when you are standing.
how the roller will attracted if u need one . doesn’t look realistic on th epic
Bro....just get a kayak at this point lmao
Hah! I know :) But I stand on a SUP 90% of the time - The seats are generally used by my friends, family and people I take on tours who aren’t as comfortable standing. Rather than double my fleet size, having the right optional seat saves me tons of space and money.
Just buy a bote
