Safety paddlers... PLEASE - Reconsider securing the paddler, in any way, into this, or any other kayak, and make sure the paddler is well versed in doing a wet exit. Next time, you may not be so lucky to get him before he takes a breath of water and ends up, at the very least, with a serious lung infection.
Otherwise, congratulations on providing this opportunity for this paddler!
As C6 complete quadriplegic I do not have the ability to sit upright in the kayak unless something holds me in place. I also am unable to hold onto the kayak paddle unless my hands are strapped on it by some type of device. A wet exit is a wonderful idea if you are physically capable of doing one. My desire to enjoy this sport would be impossible with the safety methods you propose.
Hi,I've been wanting to canoe or kayak again since my c/5 injury.
Can you contact me so I can gain insight to where you bought some of the adaptation devices? For trigger pulling too.

Thanks for the comments anyway.
