Why?

I am sure you've heard them, the paddlers and rowers that complain of post-practice tush pain yet believe themselves too tough to use a "girlie cushion". Funny, they don't look so tough wincing in a post-practice shower.

Given my background in Orthotics & Prosthetics, basically making devices that improve people's quality of life or performance, it seemed a natural progression to develop a device / seat pad for the water sports we love. So, please stop cringing in the shower. I invite you to try some cush for your tush.

What we're about

We make ridiculously good gel seat pads for water sports (rowing, kayak, marathon, outrigger, dragon boat – IDBF approved!). So, if you're still covering your spectacular ass with padded shorts... SHAME ON YOU.

Spreading the good karma

A $1 donation from the sale of each Hot Pink Dragon Boat and Rowing seat pad will be donated to a not for profit organization which support Breast Cancer Survivors in the country of purchase. USA donations will still be directed to the BCRF, Canadian donations will now be directed to CBCF, and similar arrangements will be made in other countries of purchase.

Finally the free stuff we teased you into reading this page for

Booty Call!!! We are introducing the Festival / Regatta Best Butt Contest. We are going to let you be the judge. Yes, there will be both a male and female category, so dust off your best spandex. The grand prize will be a free gel seat pad and the notoriety associated with this prestigious title (Mr / Miss Spectacular Ass). Look for it coming to a Festival / Regatta near you.

A note to future winners: After much debate, honestly it went well into the night, we decided that photos of winning tushes will NOT be published on the website. In the end we concluded no photo could possibly do them justice, we recommend that they be viewed in person.

See you on the water!
