Description
Upgrade Your Comfort on the Water
The Viking Hurricane Backrest is purpose-built for the Profish Reload and the Profish 400 (2023 model). Designed to integrate directly into the moulded seat area of these kayaks, it delivers significantly improved back support without the hassle of constantly removing or reinstalling your seat.
Whether you’re paddling offshore to reach bait schools or spending hours trolling, proper back support makes a measurable difference in comfort, control and endurance.
Designed Specifically for Profish Reload & Profish 400 (2023)
This is not a universal seat. The Hurricane Backrest has been engineered to fit the moulded seating platform found on:
Viking Profish Reload
Viking Profish 400 (2023 model only)
Because of this integrated design, the seat:
Does not require removal for transport
Simply folds down when loading your kayak
Maintains a clean, factory-style fit
No straps dangling everywhere. No repeated reinstallation. Just fold down and go.
Adjustable Height for Paddling and Fishing
One of the key advantages of the Hurricane Backrest is its adjustable height system.
Set it lower when paddling to maintain efficient stroke mechanics
Raise it higher when you stop to fish for increased lumbar and upper back support
This flexibility allows you to optimise posture depending on what you're doing on the water.
Built for Long Offshore Sessions
Spanish mackerel runs, offshore missions and extended trolling sessions demand real ergonomic support.
The padded high-back design improves posture and reduces fatigue, helping you:
Paddle longer with less strain
Maintain better control in wind and current
Stay stable when fighting larger fish
The materials used do not absorb water, meaning the seat stays lighter and dries faster after use.
Practical Advantage
Unlike many traditional kayak seats that need to be removed every time you transport your kayak, the Hurricane Backrest simply folds down. That alone makes it a practical long-term upgrade for serious kayak anglers.
Practical Advice: Proper back support reduces fatigue,
helping you paddle stronger for longer and stay stable when fighting fish.
Important: Supplied in assorted colours depending on manufacturer supply.
