I just wanted to reiterate how comfy and sweet these JK High/Low seats are.

Yesterday Bwodum and I hooked up with high hopes of catching the great white sturgeon.  Unfortunately after spending 8 hours anchored in the wind, rain and chop we weren't able to get in touch with the old diamond back. (He was around tho :smt002)
As most of us know 8hours sitting down anywhere is literally a pain in the ass, and to do that in a kayak :smt010 you're hurting.
I normally use my seat in the low postion but this time I want to move it to the high postion once anchored. After paddling and setting up in our honey hole, moving the seat to the high postion was really easy. 

1st: I slid off the chair and sat side saddle on the center hatch.
2ND: I loosen the chair strap, raised the chair onto it's high postion and re-tighten the strap. 
3ND: I just lifted myself back onto the chair and I was chilling for the next 8hrs.

Sitting in the high postion allowed me to move around more freely, my knees and back weren't killing me. I was so comfortable, I was having a hard time even staying awake. At one point I looked over at Bwodun and he told me how much he hated me for looking so comfortable...Sorry dude :smt005
Keep in mind that once you are in the high postion your center of gravity is off so you have to pay a little more attention to the conditions. 
Once we were ready to leave all I did to lower back down was:

1st: loosen the strap again, slightly lift my butt off the seat at the same time sliding the chair off it's mounts onto it's lower postion. Then sat back down and re-tightened the strap.

As we paddled back to the launch, I watched Bwodun stop paddling a few times to stretch out. I know that feeling, but this time I was feeling pretty good and not too sore.
I'm looking forward to my next 8hr session :smt003
