It sounds to me that you need a little more PT before getting out there. I think its doubtful that the mirage drive is the factor in the equation. And if you were on a 2015 or newer outback, its also doubtful the seat was the issue. I too had a herniated L5-S1, canal stenosis, etc. The injury happened 5-6 years ago mind you, but I still deal with the pain after trying multiple cortisone injections. The injections worked well, but did not want to have to rely on them for a lifetime. May consider fusion surgery down the line. Anyways, after my injury, my first kayak was an older hobie revolution. And older seats that slip out and dont have much support did not work out for me. Had to come in, in no more than two hours every trip. Switched over to vantage seat on the pro angler and that was the ticket. Hooked on kayak fishing at that point because it didnt flare up my back anymore. Im now in an outback with the vantage CT seat and its equally as good to the pro angler seat comfort-wise. Dont be discouraged just yet, maybe give it a little more time.
