Decathlon / Itiwit PR 500 Packraft - How to stop the inflatable seat from sliding forward?
Hey everyone,
Just picked up the Decathlon Itiwit PR 500 packraft and I'm really enjoying it so far.
The only annoying issue I'm having is that the inflatable seat keeps sliding forward while paddling. It has that adjustable strap with hooks on the bottom that attaches to the floor loops, but even when I tighten it as much as possible, the seat still creeps forward (especially when the floor is a bit wet or I'm putting power into my strokes).
Has anyone else with the PR 500 (or similar Itiwit models) found a good fix for this?
So far I've tried:
- Maxing out the strap tension
- Inflating the seat and floor extra firm
- ...
What worked for you? Any mods, extra straps, Velcro, carabiners, or other tricks? I'm open to simple DIY solutions that don't ruin the boat.
Thanks in advance! Really want to get this dialed in for longer trips. 🚣♂️
