 This great looking 3/4” thick pad has been scientifically
developed to reduce the risk of injuries associated
with heavy sea conditions.
By combining different foam densities, the pad
relieves over 90% of the shock caused by the impact
of a boat running over big waves, a discomfort we
have all experienced before. The immediate relief on
your feet, knees, back and neck will astonish you and
you’ll never want to leave the dock without it.
Across the United States, each year thousands of people
sustain severe knee and back injuries due to boating
and water related accidents. Children and teens are at
high-risk for these devastating injuries — many of
which can be prevented. Chronic pain resulting from
injuries to the ligaments and tendons of the skeleton
have been well recognized. However, soft-tissue
injuries to the ligaments, tendons and fascia of the
lower back, injuries most associated with boating,
have been largely ignored as a potential source of
chronic back pain. Safety measures can and should be
taken to avoid this ongoing source of discomfort.
To understand how Calcutta’s Orthopedic Shock
Absorber works you must first understand a little bit
about the human body. The knee joint is cushioned by
articular cartilage that covers the ends of the tibia and
femur, as well as the underside of the patella.
Additionally there are pads of cartilage that further
cushion the joints, acting as small shock absorbers
between the bones. These components of your knee,
along with your leg muscles, work together to manage
the stress your knee receives as you pound from wave
to wave.
The Calcutta® Orthopedic Shock Absorber significantly
reduces the heavy stresses placed on integral
parts of your fragile ankle, knee and spine. As you
come down on each wave, your skeletal system is
cushioned and tremendously reduces the impact.
What once felt like a continuous series of uncomfortable
“booms and bams”, now feels like a smooth,
comfortable ride.
The Calcutta® Orthopedic Shock Absorber is available
in 2 convenient sizes: 16” x 23” and 16” x 47”.
The pad perfectly fits inbetween leaning posts and
consoles as well as helm chairs and bridge stations.
The 16” x 23” pad is also ideal for poling and casting
platforms. The non skid pattern on the underside of
the Orthopedic Shock Absorber practically glues the
pad into position.
Calcutta’s Orthopedic Shock Absorber can also be
used as a lounge or sun bathing cushion. Close to four
feet long, the thick and comfortable pad makes you
feel like your laying on a bed of feathers.

beautiful biological marine fish paintings by famed artist Kevin Brant.
Either way, all images are resistant to most any boat cleaning materials.
Testimonials
“After 14 years as a guide I was diagnosed with a herniated disk
in my lower back. The doctors said it was caused by the
repetitive impact of riding on a boat. They told me I either had
to reduce this impact or quit fishing. After a long search I
discovered the Calcutta® Orthopedic Shock Absorber. Now I
can fish everyday and the pad absorbs the impact, sparing the
un-needed stress on my back and knees. I only wish I had one
years ago. Once you try one you will wonder how you ever
fished without it. Simply put, It will protect your back, knees, and
neck from impact related injuries caused by long boat rides.”

“As a physician I frequently deal with patients with arthritis,
herniated disks and degenerative disk diseases. Unfortunately
these things are made worse by the jarring and vibration of a
boat. I highly recommend the Calcutta Orthopedic Shock
Absorber. You will immedietely notice the difference the first
time you use it.”
