Default Bean Bag Chairs

Do these things work? The reason I am asking is I have a 76 year old father who loves fishing but can't take the beating on the way out or back. It just wears him out to bad. I want him to continue to fish with me, but right now the days he can go a few and far in between. Any experience with these would greatly be appreciated.

Bean bags work great, but you still get a pounding if you leave the deck. Buy one or two and let your buds give you an opinion on how the ride is for your dad.

I may not fish on the type of "beating" days you speak of, but bean bags are the best ride I've found.

Beating for him is anything over 1.5-2 ft. For me anything over 4-5 and we have alot of 2-4 ft days around here.

I don't think that he would even feel anything under 2' sitting in a bean bag. The only problem is that he will be basicly sitting on the floor. Buy one anyway, your kids/friends will love it.

Bean bags are definitely the way to go. In moderate seas, they'll provide a very comfortable ride.

Buy the ones from e-searider. They are best and he stands behind his products! For your grandfather, I reccomend the "chair" type. It will give him better support because it has more of a back and arms. We recently bought one for our Dad(62) to use when he goes with us and he thought it was much better than the basic ones. You sit up a little more in them so it is also easier to see out of. On our last trip, we took it....I honestly had a better nap in the chair version than the regular ones....of course I don't ever seem to have any problems catching naps in them.

Thanks for the kind words about our products guys, We are glad to make your time spent on the water more enjoyable.

Misconduct ,
I have helped many older men continue to fish offshore well past their normal ability. I also make custom bags for handicapped children. There are alot of elderly or handicapped people that rely on our products and are an integral part of their equipment. If you think I can help try my products out, I guarantee satisfaction or your money back!
