Oceansouth Waverider Pedestals

[Blade]

Hi Raiders, 

Does anyone have any experience with these? Are they any good at smoothing out rough conditions? 

 

Thanks in advance

I use them on my Caribbean.

We regularly head up to the Hawkesbury from the harbour and have often encountered some fairly unpleasant conditions.

I found that they performed as well as might be expected for a fairly low budget pedestal.

They are not a proper suspension seat by any stretch of the imagination so don't expect a lounge chair ride!

They will bottom out depending on your height setting.

They will add comfort above that of a fixed pedestal.

I have had to replace several due to apparent poor quality  control which resulted in the helm chair wobbling around.

If purchasing, make sure you double check that there is no lateral movement in the pedestal, before you buy.

I'd be wary of shock absorber type pedestal designs, when they bottom out the force is actually amplified and can do serious harm. I run sharks personally, bit pricey but they're safe.
