Hervé Gagelin has always been passionate about nautism, and has been living close to the seaside forever. Gagelin has been closely following the evolution of paddle gears for years and observed that "paddlers do not stand up for a long time since they tend to get tired easily". He thus designed an ergonomic seat that can be installed on any paddle or kayak. The first prototype, made 6 years ago, incorporated glass fiber reinforced materials. The new one is rotomolded.
