My Favorite Kayak Seats for Paddleboards - Best, Worst and Recommended.

I've used 6 different kayak seats or stadium seats on my inflatable Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP), and have a thorough review of what ones are my most and least favorite. Below are links of where find the ones I've liked.

I personally own and use all the gear in my videos, and only recommend stuff that I think is actually great - because trust matters. I'm also an Amazon Affiliate and earn a small commission if you think my reviews are good and choose to buy something from my referral links. #commissionedearned

How has this guy only got 84 subscribers! that was very professional and better than most company vids, well done mate.

Truly one of the best videos in this category that I've seen. Informative, right balance/level of detail and great explanation. Someone who really knows what they're doing. You just got a new subscriber. I'm probably going to go with the Costco Body Glove Performer iSUP and the RA220 perfectly raised seat. Want the versatility to somewhat comfortably use for fishing as well.

Really enjoyable videos! I wanted to add another seating alternative I used to use in my Meyers Sportspal Canoe, just a folding blade footed lawn chair. Similar to a Larry Chair but a bit higher seating. So, with my new inflatable SUP, I did order its available kayak seat but decided to buy a Pooya Folding Camping Chair from Wayfair (cheaper than a kayak seat and free shipping). It is rated to 265 lbs. and I have yet to receive it but I think it'll work great. So, for someone who wants to fish and paddle primarily standing but wants to sit down to re-tie or eat lunch or fish sitting, this is a good and light alternative to add to, say, a cooler seat. This one weighs 6 lbs. and can be strapped to a SUP just like any other. I'm here in Texas, will let you know how it works out.

Thx a mil. Great presentation, great comparison. I'm the example of the buyer who got tempted by soft chair being included in the package.
The truth is, I don't use it at all. Neither do my daughters, as the chair turns SUP into one person board rather then 2 ppl.
Wish I saw your video before.
Great work mate!

8:56 I think the cheapo folding chair would be best for me. I need back support when sitting on paddle board. I like to lay down and float as well. So this one would get out of the way easily.

I love the inclusion of style points! Lol You answered qustions i didnt even know i had yet. Just got my boad today and super excited to paddle the kids around on it!

[annhysell]

Thank you for the great info.. and the puppy insert was hilarious.

[COHikerGirl]

Thanks! This was invaluable ... gotta love good solid information NOT influenced by a sales interest. Just what I needed.

[PicoPianist]

This is one of the most useful videos I've come across regarding kayak seats. Thank you so much!

[Cbyrdz]

Really great video. Thanks for taking the time to describe the pros and cons of each one.

[JohnMcCarthy]

EXACTLY what I was looking for - slight difference - to use in an inflatable kayak (Tobin from Costco). Leaning toward a stadium seat as it would sit flatter

[KyroMenicou]

Extremely well described, thought out and consisely explained video on this topic. Thanks dude!

[wallentin_a]

Thanks for a good clip. I love the standing sit and nice to bring i cooler bag for day trip 😊

[davidr]

Such a great video and explanation. Thank you from down here in Australia

[TannerB]

Holy crap, thank you! I am a taller and heavier guy and almost bought one of those cheap seats you talked about 1st. I’m for sure going to give the third chair a try!

[jordanabendroth]

Thanks for this, i bought a sup that included a clip on foldable seat and when i was trying to adjust it to sit on i really couldn't get it adjusted very well, I'm gonna go out and get a stadium frame seat

[treefallsinaforest]

Thanks for the vid. Got a seat based on your recommendation. Not perfect but I can probably mod a solution from here whereas before I was perpetually uncomfortable.

[proteak]

Thank you for this great video! It's super helpful to see the differences between the seats and the pros and cons of each.

[neostephens]

I like the Aquaglide AG frame seat too.

The perfect video 🤌🏼 even the puppy had its place
