"I’m very pleased to report that it certainly does take the horrible jar or bang when the tinny or boat slams down on the flats of its hull.
I had to remind myself in several occasions to sit down on the chair, because I so naturally stand when I’m about to cross a Riviera wake or come in through the bar in choppy conditions. But when you do sit, the reward is pretty much as they say – it puts ‘the glide back into the ride’, and reminds me very much of the sort of dampening you get from an adjustable office chair set on a fairly hard setting.
It’s a beautiful bit of design, of that there is absolutely no doubt. And yes, I’d go so far as to quite happily say that I wouldn’t own one of our typical tinnies (such as the Topenders, Barra Boats, Side and Centre Consoles, etc) where pedestal seats were involved without having the Wave Master® installed.

"Just writing in to say what a great product you have supplied me with. I first installed the wavemaster into my 5m tinny and found the ride / comfort level went through the roof. Started spending more time getting to those spots that little bit further away as it was not so taxing on the body. So now i have a bigger boat, 7.5 glass. Because you always find a spot that little bit further. And by no means its a rough riding hull. The old haines are pretty dam good. But i still put my wavemaster under the drivers chair for those couple of waves you get on midnight runs out to the far marks. Might even get one for the passenger chair before the next Monte Bellos run. I recommend this little bit of luxury for all boaties. The service through the wavemaster dealer was top notch."

"I have a Stacer 525 tinny and typically have a jarring ride in some nasty chop. I often have a crook back after some trips, but since I installed the Wave Master® I have had no such problem. The suspension takes out the jarring and the ride is much more comfortable and enables a faster speed to be maintained."

“After I injured my back, I was flat out spending an hour on the water without suffering excruciating pain. When I first tried the Wave Master®® seat support, I couldn’t believe it. I was out on the water for at least 5 hours with no problems.”

“At first I was really cautious because any sudden jarring means I’m laid up for days but I was ecstatic when I tried the Wave Master® seat support for the first time. I was able to reach speeds in conditions I would never have contemplated before because I knew I’d end up in a world of pain. I really feel that I can continue fishing for many more years to come because of the Wave Master® seat support.”

"I'm a 17 year old, whose a mad keen fisherman. I go out about 25 nautical miles in a 5.3m quintrex so rough weather can cause a bit of havoc. I'm only about 45kg so I get knocked around a fair bit in rough weather, and have to be watching every wave so I don't jarr my back. Dad installed the wavemaster in my seat and ever since I have enjoyed a comfortable ride and don't have to worry about the waves. I fell asleep on the way home in 15 knot winds which goes to show that the wavemaster is doing it's job. I recommend the wavemaster to any keen boaty or fisherman!"

“Recently I trialled the Wave Master® seat support during the during the Bowen Fishing Classic. I can honestly say that I have never felt so good after spending nearly 3 days non-stop in the boat. The only aches I had were from pulling in some great fish!”
“When we were heading out to our fishing spot, the wind was blowing a good 15 knots with a 2 metre swell, nothing too major but choppy enough to make things uncomfortable. The Wave Master® seat support however, changed that. My body didn’t take a hammering this time, the Wave Master® seat support did.”
“The reason I sold my 6m /19ft plate alloy was due to the ride, as every boatie knows every 7th wave has a hard landing and this just got too much for my body as I fish reefs around 80 n/miles off the coast from Mackay. The jump to 22.6ft /6.85m in fibreglass has made a big difference but that 7th wave still gets you and the Wave Master® seat support really takes the edge off this. Just checked GPS on our trip to Bowen and found we did 156n/miles round trip. Our first day was almost 50 n/miles in really nasty weather 15knts+ w. What made it so bad was the fact it was a westerly and we had to hit it head on and the Wave Master® seat support took the edge of the impact landing and hitting.”

“My weight is about 73kg and I find the damping effect is not significant – my boat (4.8m) pounding at off-shore situation such that I am considering to buy a new boat with better performance.”

“At 74 I still love deep sea fishing because I found the Wave Master® seat support! As the Wave Master® seat support takes all the battering from the waves, I no longer have to worry about the aches and pains I would normally feel after a day on the water. I only worry about whether I catch more fish than my son and his mates!”

“The Wave Master® seat support is fantastic! I can now chase the big fish for longer and further in conditions I never would have before. The Wave Master® seat support gives me a smooth, comfortable ride no matter how choppy it gets. My wife complains that since I’ve had the Wave Master® seat support, I’m never home anymore!”

“I love the Wave Master® seat support! Not only does the Wave Master® seat support give a great ride but I can take it on my mate’s boat too. It’s so quick and easy to install that my mates were shocked the first time they saw me do it. They can’t believe how something so simple and easy to use can be so comfortable. They all want one now!”
