Kneeling in the canoe, with your butt on the edge of the seat gives you 3 points of contact, a slightly lower center of gravity and much better control of the canoe. Glueing in kneeling pads makes this position much more appealing, especially when water or wind conditions suddenly change from calm to exciting.
