I have been paddling WW forvever recently took up seakayaking and IMO Sea kayaks need to be properly outfitted like a WW boat to be comfy, an have efficient stroke and if you got any hope of pulling off a roll
hip pads to make you tight in the boat and adding tilt to a flat seat bottom, I put 2-3" of mini cell on either hip (skinny fucker eh) and I raised the front of the seat bottom on my necky seat by 5" to get my knees up into the top edges of the cockpit where I glue more sheets of minicell, I also take pieces of blue ensolite foam to fold up & put under the thighs
Last may-june we did some big crossings in the hecate straight where we were stuck in the boat for 5 hrs, you just suck it up, if I wanted comfort I could have taken an AK cruise
Nothing beats a Werner kalliste in CF bentshaft , they are beautiful light EXPENSIVE but ... worth the $$$ imo/ime
the foam core blades float when you put the paddle in the water, I would go 220cms which is short by most peoples standards but short is way easier on your body
Happy paddling just don't get your water bottle mixed up with your piss bottle
