Thank you Nick for taking interest in finding a Seat Riser solution! I was pleasantly surprised to see this video after your prompt response to my comment on the Lynx Riser video!
Thanks for watching, Justin. The Lynx riser kit fits the 22’ Compass but the front risers rest on the edge of the scupper holes so we are going to make a few adjustments to avoid that situation.
Hi Nick, I went out today and used a throwable cushion as a raiser to see how a fixed raiser will work for open water. In our local waters 3 to 4 ft swell is normal, it doesn’t work, I’ve been kayak fishing for many years and never felt so unstable on a kayak. I know you will try it and test it to the limits. Turbo fins are a most for open saltwater.
Love my 2022 camo. Originally ordered the Lynx but didn’t want to wait for it. Moved the round hatch to the front and added the rectangular hatch and some map pockets, and that solved any storage issues. Will be interested to see your review and your seat riser solution!
Yeah, really like the idea of some DIY to make things better and save some cash by getting the Compass. Not to mention the increased durability that Nick talked about in the vid when compared to the Lynx. I think I am getting to a point where weight is an issue, but seems like some weight also and more simply just equates to durability.
I wasn’t a fan of that style rudder either. But the light weight should make it easy to move. My manta ray weighs like 78lbs and has that rudder underneath. I can take it out of my truck one handed. All I’m saying is, if you start making parts for native, I’ll be there lol
@@NavarreKayakFishing that's what I was worried about. I'm wanting something along the lines of quality but not wanting one 120+ lbs or harder to maneuver in and out of use. I lift and can manage but just don't want to do that with a rig.
Two main reasons - we had several request to make seat risers for the kayak and spending time in a variety of kayaks every year keeps me up to date on who has the best product. I prefer the Lynx to the Compass without any questions.
Ok gotcha makes sense. Had me nervous there for a second, I'm picking up my new Lynx this morning. Will be ordering several of your products for it today as well. Appreciate all your videos
Nice video man, Glad to see ya are still kickin 👍
A seat riser will be awesome, thank for all the contributions you do for the sport
Thanks for watching the videos.

@@NavarreKayakFishing Thanks Nick! I will be sure to test them out once they are available for purchase!

Solid review.
Thanks for watching!
Please let me know when you make the seat risers and hopefully for the 2021 compass.
We will make a video about them.
@@NavarreKayakFishing thank you I have 2021 it's different please check it out. Thank you.
Can't wait!
Love my 2021
Great review, would you prefer lynx over this for offshore?
100%. I’ll be making a few videos with the Compass offshore - I believe the Lynx is a better all around platform.

Do you think this boat would work for someone 6'6"? 12 ft should be plenty long, just was curious on your opinion
That’s a good question. I think the kayak will feel extremely tiny to you.

I don’t blame you. I would try to demo one if possible.
Did you move??
We did. About six months ago.
@@NavarreKayakFishing dang. I’m so out of the loop man. Started a business and I stay way too freaking busy.
Congratulations on starting the business. I hope it’s going well.
Just curious why you bought this when you seem to really like your Lynx

Thanks for watching, Kevin.
The worst thing about going from an OT to a Native is not having Nick anymore.
Which Native did you purchase?
@@NavarreKayakFishing slayer max 10
Crocks with socks! Thats all I have to say today. :)
Hahahaha.
