In the three-seater version for 3 active adult paddlers: by positioning the rear seat flush with the hood, and the front seat at its maximum forward attachment point – its backrest is in this case still 1.70 m from the bow – we have created a free space of over 190 cm measured between the two inflatable backrests.
