Pittsburgh – September 19, 2026 -- A Canadian inventor from Chateauguay, QC, has filed a patent-pending design for the SPY SEAT, a seating attachment that lets anglers sit or lean while fishing from a paddleboard instead of standing.

Design eliminates the need to stand while paddleboard fishing

The SPY SEAT attaches to a paddleboard to give users a stable, comfortable seating position, freeing both hands for casting and reeling. The inventor said the goal was to add stability and support that standard paddleboards lack during fishing use.
