Canoe bench seat set-up on the SMART Series of hybrid folding kayaks

Canoe bench seats is an optional extra feature / accessory that is available for all Neris SMART models. Two different seat attachment methods are used in the two SMART Series.

The standard SMART Series boats uses fixed flaps as anchor points that are permanently attached to the kayak skin. Removable bench seat boards are corded to the seat flaps. It is highly recommended that these seat flaps are ordered when ordering the boat. IE is professionally fitted at the factory. Canoe seat flaps are fitted in the same positions as the existing kayak seats that comes standard with that specific model boat. In the case of the single seater SMART-1 and the SMART PRO S which comes with one seat as standard, those boats can be used as a short double seater with extra seat positions (flaps) and extra seat/s (kayak seat or canoe seat or both).
Height of seat above floorboard - 34cm approx

The SMART PRO Series boats uses a removable flap sleeve system utilizing the upper ALU frame. The bench seats are then corded to these seat flap sleeves. This is a simple add-on that can be ordered after the kayak has been purchased.
Height of seat above floorboard - 20cm approx

Below are photos showing the basic concept as used currently in both SMART Series. There is a short film clip showing a SMART-2 being paddled as a double canoe in this video here - video

NOTE - some photos may show kayaks without floorboards. These would be of boats that are made for the EU market, UK boats have floorboards as standard. To keep the weight down, floorboards are only fitted where you would normally stand when getting in / out of the kayak


Photos of a blue / black Neris SMART-1 single seater that was set up as short double (May 2018)
Normally, this single seater would just have a single pair of canoe bench seat flaps, which is positioned roughly just behind the midway point along the length of the boat.

After the boat frame has been fully assembled and the side sponsons fully inflated, you then attach the bench seats. The canoe bench seat flaps can been seen on the left side

Here the bench seat is being "threaded" on in the central position on the seat flaps. The bench seat can be attached one eyelet forward, or one eyelet back - IE three positions

Photos of a white / black Neris SMART PRO double seater (Dec 2019)
For the Smart PRO Series, the seat flaps are slip on sleeves. The sleeves are fitted during the upper ALU frame assembly, before the final sponson inflation. Once the sponsons have been fully inflated, the bench seats can be attached
