Has anyone used the "Thigh Control Straps" listed in the Hobie catalogue?
I am interested in how they might work on the Adventure. In particular, I am looking to increase my ability to brace while paddling in rough water. Yes, I said paddling. Do the thigh braces fit on the Adventure? Do they allow greater control and a stronger snap of the hips to prevent capsize? I assume that one cannot pedal with thigh straps, but since I have never seen one...
Thanks
Jonathan

You can install the thigh straps on any model. Yes great for bracing against for paddling.

Thanks Matt.
Do the straps come with pad eyes for attaching to hull? There don't seem to be enough attachment points on the Adventure.
