hi i have been looking for a big enough kayak for me for a while now! im 6 foot 4 and i have been wondering what size kayak do you think i would need! i thought an 8.5 footer might do! ive tried getting into a 7.5, but could barely sit in it!

anyone got any suggestions! im looking for a sit in surf kayak!

thanks, Liam

Hi Liam

Most of the paddlers on this board won't have the first clue how to answere that one as the majority are in freestyle boats or creek boats.

Talk to Colm in I-Canoe he sells sit on tops and will see ya right.Sorry i can't help anymoreBren

 

Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

Hi Liam,

I'm 183sm and 95kg and have been surfing Mega Marouder. It's light and i'm and the back sinks in the water while you’re on the queue, but once on the wave…the boat rises and gets speed nothing to compare with.

 

I’m leaving Ireland at the end of October and I’m selling it as where I’m going there is no surf. I’ll be in Easkey for the Irish Open and week later for the Europeans. Let me know if you interested.

 

 

Later

 

Nik
