During my first use of our inflatable kayak, I found it hard to get enough leverage against with my legs to really use my core. I tried unsuccessfully to rig up a brace with things around the house. Went back to the catalogue and was happy to find this inflatable device and have been happily using it since.
At firs I didn't think I needed this thinking I am 5'9" but after watching a ton more of Youtube videos it dawned on me this brace literally connects your lower torso and now have a much more effective paddle that now involves your whole body vs. just your arms I don't go paddling without it. It let's me be much more responsive to my kayak. It's more than a good buy. It's a necessary must have.
I bought the foot brace primarily to provide leg support and to protect the interior near the bow of the Advanced Frame Sport kayak. If you hard paddle in reverse this foot brace adds extra leverage too.
Bought this for my wife after viewing a video on it. It has worked very very well. She now has somewhere to push against for greater balance while paddling. Would recommend this for shorter people.
