Shoulder-pain is a real pain, and it can irradiate to the neck and become a pain-in-the-neck literally. The kayak fishing community needs to be aware of this issue, and other problems that many people experience in sinks and sots. With this shoulder pain problem even the F2S [fit-to-sit] proponents are clueless. I absolutely agree with everything that’s been said here.

It's even more of a problem if you're not very tall. I used to get awful shoulder pain (to the point of tears) in the traditional yaks, not just from casting in the SIT or SOT, just holding the rod I would get pain, to a point I could no longer cast, let alone fight a fish! With The Wave Walk yak, Problem Solved!! And that "Fit to Sit" nonsense is for the Birds.....! Don't even get me started. The Wave Walk Yaks are for All, Tall, Short, Slim, Chuncky.... :) One Size Fits All!!!! :D :D :D Tight Lines, and Squeeze into them Yaks People!! :) Rox Jeff,

It's like saying you need to eat special kinds of food to help you digest certain types of health food that should be good for your body in the first place. It's absurd as it gets, but some people go for it.

How does FIT 2 SIT sound? :D Jeff, sounds like you’re having a hard time with those SIK and SOT “joys”… :)

Here’s another one:
