worthwhile seat or just hot air?

A new seat from Point 65. May help numb bums.

I was having a look at this seat for my point65 Sea Cruiser, looks nice, but can't find a price in the UK

The Point 65 air seat isnt available for a few more months.
Another alternative is http://www.skwoosh.com/ which is fairly available.

Anyone any experience with the skwoosh? I do get troubled a bit with numb legs?

I had a skwoosh pro angler seat on a fishing kayak, it has the same gel pad. Very comfortable even after 6 or 7 hours sat at anchor.
