The Aire Inflatable Kayak Foot Rest came out a couple years back, and it
attaches through the cargo loops of any AIRE of Tributary kayak. It can also be affixed by running the four straps out & back in bail holes, if you have bail holes in the right place.
It has a summit II valve like what comes on all the Tributary kayaks now, but of course this is different from the Leafield B-7 valves used on the American AIRE kayak models. So.... you may end up needing an adaptor to fully inflate it*. Or any K-Pump tip will butt up snug against the Summits, so if you have one of those you won't need an adapter.
Please note that because the straps on this footbrace run fore & aft instead of straight down, it does not cinch down as tight to the floor top as the 7" kayak thwart that we had been selling up to now. This means that on big vertical drops, it could be possible to fine one's feet wedged under this footrest. *Because of this detail we advise you to ensure the straps are as snug as you can get them, and that both your kayak floor and the actual footrest are inflated very firm.
