I am new on kayaking and want to buy this as a present for a friend. Could this seat be used in a sit-in kayak, please? Thank you.

I bought it to be used in a sit in kayak....It has longer straps than it needed for mine but it works just fine.

Yes it can in fact I use it in my sit in kayak. I did need to add two eye loops to create latch points for the kayak. It works well and is a great improvement over my first chair being both softer and taller. I do wish it was about 4" taller though- it reduces kayaking back strain but doesn't eliminate it.

I have a sit-in kayak and it fits in mine. I have the LL Bean Calypso kayak which is smaller since it is made for women and I tried it out when I got it and it seems like it will work. I have not tried it out for real in the water yet for hours, but I am hopeful since it is to late to return it since I got it for Christmas.

Kris, by "sit in" I'm not sure if it would work out for him. There are four adjustment snaps and webbed belts that set the seat so it depends on how the inside of the yak is set up.

Yes, it can. This seat is very comfortable and durable. I have used it for over 2 years and it is still like new. Enjoy!

Yes, you definitely can! We have a a lot of customers separately buy seat attachments for their boards. You can buy d-rings (http://bit.ly/1q8G1ZX) if the seat doesn't come with any, and install the d-rings on the sides of the board to easily attach and detach the seat. A lot of people use inflatable boards for fishing--because of their weight capacities--or for paddling like a kayak/canoe--because of the board's stability. I hope this helps! -Allison Tower Paddle Boards

Most sit in kayaks already have a seat, and the sit on ones wouldn't have anywhere to strap it to, unless maybe a high end fishing kayak. Hope this helps!

No, it wouldn't be wide enough even on the widest setting. It would be nice if they made another top piece that was on an angle just for kayaks.

I would say yes. I have two kayak seats in my back pack. I love the board. Havnt used my kayak since I bought it not much on the standing up though.

The seat is height adjustable, so I don't think your height will be an issue. I believe it is rated for up to 300lbs. Initially, the seat my be uncomfortable but, DON'T go out and get a new/padded one. It may take a few months of consistent riding, but it WILL break in and be very comfortable.

i would not use it to sit in the tub. I would not feel safe using it that way. I would only use it as a step to get into the tub.

Hi Richard, I have a necky kayook with a collapsible seat. My husband has the hard one piece seat. We both use this pad and love it. Straps hold this to the seat by the upper back part but it mostly stays in place because of it's weight. They provide hardware for it to attach to your boat, but you really don't need it. The only cons about this pad is it's weight.

Probably, but it also depends on the size and model of your boat. If your using skinny sit in, it is probably is too much paddle. If your on a wide sit on top it might suit your needs...

I haven't bought one yet, but this is the one made by the same company:Sup/kayak Adjustable BackrestI would think any seat for a sit top kayak would work though, they are adjustable.

I kayak in mine. Had to wear a couple times to work in the fit, but i really like it especially for the price. Just get right size,

NO, will not fit in or on my kayak, I like it because it,s easy to roll on soft sand. Since I don't expect to use the cart until I come backto the launch point no problem leaving it in truck.Jim Baldwin

I have used mine in rivers and lakes/ponds. Whereas you sit on top of this kayak, if you got hung up in the shallows, its just a matter of swinging your legs to the side and standing up and pull it along to deeper water. But i've never had to do that...even in a few inches of water. However, this is not made for any type of white water, rapids, etc., imo.

I bought this for a sit in kayak. Fiberglass hull type that you put a spray skirt on. Fits no problem.

The material is surprisingly tough. I'm lazy and have often pushed myself along shallow rivers with my paddle while the kayak scrapes on the bottom and have never had an issue. But I did lose a skeg one time due to rocks. As I posted elsewhere, you cannot get a replacement skeg - as of today, they're *still* not listed on the Intex webste - and the kayak is essentially unsteerable without the skeg.

Probably not unless you like a seat while kayaking. If you are over 100 lbs water WILL come over the back of kayak and into the seat area. This is great for light weight children.
