Recovering from back surgery doesn’t mean giving up your love for boating. For many enthusiasts, the call of the open water is strong, and with a little preparation, the right gear, and a smart approach, you can safely return to your favorite activity. At Seaspension, we understand the challenges that come with recovery and are here to help make your boating experience as smooth and pain-free as possible.
Before planning your next boating trip, always consult your doctor. Your surgeon or physical therapist can provide specific guidance based on your procedure and recovery timeline. They may recommend strengthening exercises or physical therapy to support your core and back muscles before heading out on the water.
When you’re cleared to boat again, take it slow. Start with short outings in calm waters to see how your body responds. Avoid jarring rides or rough conditions at first. Over time, as your strength and stamina improve, you can gradually increase the length and intensity of your trips.
One of the biggest concerns for post-surgery boaters is the impact of waves and vibration. Even short trips can be uncomfortable—or even risky—without the right support. That’s where Seaspension comes in.
Our shock-absorbing boat seat pedestals are engineered to reduce the jarring impact of rough water. By cushioning every bump and minimizing vibration, Seaspension pedestals help protect your spine and joints so you can enjoy longer, smoother rides with less fatigue and discomfort.
It’s crucial to sit with proper posture and support. If your current seat doesn’t offer enough stability, consider upgrading. Our pedestals are compatible with most existing seating setups, are a direct swap for your current pedestal, easy to install, and can be customized to suit your height, weight, and riding conditions.
Even if you’re not recovering from surgery, our pedestal systems are a game-changer for anyone with back or joint pain or those looking to protect their spine from boat-jarring impacts.
Finally, listen to your body. Take frequent breaks, switch positions regularly, and don’t hesitate to ask for help with gear or docking. You’re not racing—your goal is to stay safe and enjoy the ride.
At Seaspension, we’re proud to support boaters of all ages and abilities, including those recovering from back surgery. Our mission is to make every ride smoother, safer, and more enjoyable.
If you’re ready to return to the water, consider making Seaspension part of your comeback story. Contact us today to find the best shock-absorbing pedestal for your boat.

As we shift into a new boating season, it’s the perfect time to give your vessel the attention it deserves—whether you’re pulling it out of winter storage or you’re lucky enough to boat year-round. Even if your boat hasn't been "winterized" in the traditional sense, regular spring maintenance is crucial for safety, performance, and peace of mind.
At Seaspension, we’re all about helping you enjoy a shockingly smooth ride, and that starts with making sure your boat is ready for every wave and wake ahead.
In coastal or southern regions where boating is a year-round activity, your vessel may never leave the water, but that doesn’t mean you should skip spring maintenance. Seasonal checkups are a great way to stay on top of safety gear expiration dates (yes, that includes your flares), system performance, and general wear and tear.
Here’s a quick rundown of things every boater should check—no matter where you’re located:
Once your systems are checked and gear is restocked, plan a short test trip to make sure everything is functioning properly. This pre-season cruise can help uncover minor issues before they become major problems.
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your seating or reducing fatigue during long rides, now’s the time. Seaspension’s shock-absorbing pedestals are designed to improve comfort, reduce the impact of rough waters, and keep you riding longer without strain.
Make your spring prep complete—equip your boat with Seaspension and enjoy the smoother side of boating.

Boating is a wonderful way to experience the open waters, and ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride can significantly enhance your enjoyment. At Seaspension, we understand that the right accessories make all the difference, providing both functionality and comfort. Here, we compile a list of must-have boating accessories that will enhance your time on the water, with a special focus on how Seaspension pedestals contribute to a smoother and more comfortable journey.
At Seaspension, we believe that one of the most crucial aspects of a smooth ride is the seating. Our shock-absorbing pedestals are engineered to reduce the impact of waves and choppy waters, providing unparalleled comfort. By absorbing shocks and vibrations, these pedestals minimize fatigue and discomfort, allowing you and your passengers to enjoy the ride without the constant jarring that comes with rough waters. Seaspension pedestals are not just an accessory—they are a game-changer, ensuring that every journey is as smooth as possible.
A reliable marine GPS system is essential for safe and efficient navigation. These systems provide real-time data on your location, water depth, and potential hazards. With features like chart plotting and route planning, a high-quality marine GPS system helps you navigate confidently, ensuring a smooth journey from start to finish.
A top-notch marine audio system can elevate your boating experience. Designed to withstand the marine environment, these systems offer clear, high-quality sound. Whether you're cruising along or anchored at your favorite spot, a marine audio system allows you to enjoy your favorite music, making the ride more enjoyable for everyone on board.
Boat stabilizers are an excellent addition for larger vessels. These devices reduce the rolling motion caused by waves, providing a more stable platform. Whether you're anchored or cruising, stabilizers help maintain balance and comfort, making the ride smoother for everyone.
In addition to Seaspension pedestals, investing in high-quality marine seating and cushions can further enhance comfort. Look for waterproof and UV-resistant materials that can withstand the harsh marine environment. Comfortable seating allows you to relax and enjoy the ride, whether you're on a short trip or an extended voyage.
A reliable bilge pump is crucial for maintaining a dry and safe boat. Advanced bilge pumps with automatic sensors can detect water levels and activate accordingly, preventing water accumulation. Keeping your bilge dry not only enhances safety but also contributes to a smoother and more comfortable ride.
Boat covers and Bimini tops provide essential protection from the sun, rain, and wind. These accessories help keep the cockpit area comfortable and shielded from harsh weather conditions. By creating a more controlled environment, they contribute to a smoother and more enjoyable boating experience.
Boat fenders are vital for protecting your vessel from damage when docking or mooring. High-quality fenders absorb impacts and prevent scratches and dents, ensuring that your boat remains in top condition. By reducing the stress of docking, they contribute to a smoother overall boating experience.
A marine refrigerator or cooler is a fantastic addition for keeping food and beverages fresh. Whether you're out for a day trip or a longer voyage, having a reliable source of cold refreshments adds to the comfort and enjoyment of your trip.
A smooth and comfortable ride is essential for making the most of your boating adventures. By investing in these must-have accessories, you can significantly enhance your experience on the water. Seaspension shock-absorbing pedestals, in particular, play a pivotal role in ensuring that every journey is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

At Seaspension, we believe in more than just providing high-quality shock-absorbing pedestals for boaters. We believe in supporting the people who make a difference in the world, especially in times of need. Recently, we had the honor of helping one such individual—a customer from Hawaii who showed incredible bravery during the devastating Lahaina fire.
As we pass the first anniversary of the Lahaina fire in Maui, we want to share the heroic story of our amazing customer Capt. Chrissy Lovitt. The Lahaina fire was a catastrophic event that devastated the community, leaving many without homes and businesses. Among those affected was the remarkable boat captain, Chrissy, who lost her vessel in the fire and became a beacon of hope for others.
Amidst the danger, Chrissy jumped into high gear by grabbing the nearest skiff and pulling several adults and children out of the water to safety before attempting to turn around and save her boat. The skiff motor cut out in 100 mph winds, leaving her adrift while watching the harbor become engulfed in flames and explosions. Tragically, she lost a truck, three boats, and her boating business during the disaster. However, the boat engine dying undoubtedly saved Chrissy’s life by preventing her from going back in. She and her wife opened their home during the aftermath to welcome others who had lost theirs.
When this courageous captain reached out to us to replace her lost Seaspension pedestal, we knew we couldn’t let her pay for it. We sent her a new pedestal and slider at no charge, as a small gesture of gratitude for the incredible heroism she displayed during such a tragic time. It was the least we could do for someone who had given so much of herself to help others.
"We were deeply moved by her bravery and wanted to support her in any way we could,” stated owner Ian Milligan. Chrissy's response was heartwarming: “Thank you, thank you for helping me get my replacement boat up to par… and for saving my back! I love the pedestal!"
This story isn’t just about a pedestal; it’s about the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Despite the tremendous loss she faced, Chrissy chose to focus on helping others. Her courage and selflessness are truly inspiring, and we are humbled to have played a small part in her journey.
Her story was featured in an article on Hawaii News Now, highlighting the heartbreak and hope she found along the Lanai shoreline. We encourage you to read her story and be inspired by her courage and determination during such a difficult time.
At Seaspension, we’re committed to supporting our customers, not just with our products but with our actions. We’re honored to be a part of this incredible captain’s story and proud to support those who go above and beyond in the face of adversity.
Thank you to all of the heroic boaters who honor the code to assist others in need with whatever resources they have. We are so proud to be part of the boating community worldwide. #lahainastrong

We are thrilled to announce the incredible success of the Great Loop Challenge, where Captain Red Flowers shattered the previous records, completing the journey in just 19 days! This monumental achievement not only highlights Captain Red Flowers' skill and determination but also showcases the significant role Seaspension shock-absorbing pedestals played in this triumph.
Captain Red Flowers took on the Great Loop Challenge with the goal of raising awareness and funds for the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation. The Great Loop, a roughly 6,500-mile system of waterways around the continental United States, is a daunting journey under any circumstances. Captain Red Flowers, however, completed it in record-breaking time. The original record for a single-engine boat stood at 34 days, and the double-engine record was 28 days. Captain Red Flowers' achievement of 19 days is nothing short of extraordinary.
Throughout this grueling voyage, Captain Red Flowers' vessel was equipped with two Seaspension shock-absorbing pedestals, a key component that contributed to the success of this challenge. These pedestals played a vital role in enhancing the comfort and performance of the boat, allowing Captain Red Flowers to maintain faster speeds even through rough waters.
Enhanced Comfort: Long hours on the water can be punishing, especially when navigating choppy conditions. The Seaspension pedestals absorbed the impact of waves and boat movements, protecting Captain Red Flowers and his crew from the jarring jolts and vibrations typical in such a journey. This superior comfort meant less fatigue and more focus, crucial for maintaining the intense pace required to break the record.
Improved Speed: The stability and comfort provided by Seaspension pedestals allowed Captain Red Flowers to push the boat to higher speeds safely. The ability to travel quickly through rough waters without compromising crew safety or comfort was a significant advantage, shaving valuable time off the journey.
The Great Loop Challenge was proudly presented by Canyon Bay, a name synonymous with quality and innovation in boating. The event also had a noble cause at its heart, with proceeds going to the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation. This foundation is dedicated to funding research to eliminate childhood cancer, making this record-breaking journey not only a personal triumph for Captain Red Flowers but also a meaningful contribution to a critical cause.
We at Seaspension are honored to have been part of this historic event. Our shock-absorbing pedestals have once again proven their value in demanding conditions, providing the comfort and stability needed to achieve such an incredible feat. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Captain Red Flowers for his extraordinary accomplishment and thank him for his dedication to raising awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research.
