I had a chance to sail a 'Wave' last weekend.
<br> I think my recliner in my couch has more acceleration, and certainly more excitement than this boat.
<br>If you want backrests, just look for a nice recliner chair, you'll probably enjoy it more. And if you're looking for sailing excitement in a boat about the same size and speed, get a laser!
