Hobie has an A$$ pad to go under your seat, but I just used a foam paddle board and cut to fit, velcro on to the bottom fixed the "numb butt"

I picked one up recently butt was somewhat disappointed. It did make the seat more comfortable butt that was more along the thigh. Since the pad uses air as a cushion, the air moves to the area with least pressure. That's not where I want it. Might try blowing into the valve to inflate the seat fully. I guess that defeats the purpose of having a self inflating adjustable pad.

Shoulda tried finding some foam to cut first.
