I had the same problem with my ICON. always felt as thought I was off balance. I stuck foam on both sides of the bucket which 'Wedged ' me in. Instantly a different boat more, stable,a lot less bracing. Also a waxed seat helps. The problem with sticking foam to surf skis is that they become unstuck with the action of sand, water and just getting into them. What I have done now is cut two pieces of foam the same diameter as a CD and placed them in my paddling shorts either side of my hips. problem solved! no more tape,glue etc.
