I am 5'7" and 135 lbs, could I paddle this prone around a lake? It says it's 6 foot long, I don't mind having a leg in the water part of the time.

This was ok for my 12 and 8 yr olds for one season, front split and top bubbled, they were using in ocean waves so may last longer in a lake I'm 5' 3 120 and it was fine for me to lay on but again not made of great quAlity

I don't think it would be very easy, since it's not as wide as paddle boards. but it's a good starter surf board.

If you mean stand up paddle, no, it is too small at 6 feet. A small child <45 lbs might be able to SUP on it.

I'm 5 feet 7 with long legs and 22 inches is probably the lowest I can handle. I have a hard time believing a 6-foot-tall person would find 22 inches too high! Unless you have very short legs.

My family and I really enjoy using it very much, but it is more for light recreational use vs. performance sport use. It definitely performs better for smaller people - bigger people can use it, but they sit lower in the water which impacts speed and manueverability, and they have a higher centers of gravity which impacts stability. I think it might be a combination of height and weight. I think the 140 lb (maybe 150 lb) weight limit is pretty accurate. As far a height, I think 5' 6" might be close to the limit thinking about leg length to fit in the foot holders.

I would say no. I am 184 6'4 and it is a bit tight on me. plus the legs are a bit short for me. I use it to kayak and swim in the ocean and for that it is fine.

Hey Luis:I am 6-0, 235 so I hear you. Short answer is it will be kind of tight, but you could probably make it work. I leave the seat out bc it takes room and isn't necessary and also zip up the cockpit cover AFTER I'm in the boat and it seems to work out OK. I"ve taken it out for 2-3 hours and been fine. I honestly don't know what other kayak I'd recommend. One reason I got this was at 10 feet long, it was among the longest inflatables I found.

Yes, I am 6'4" and it is long enough for me. It is close to its maximum extention but I only use a hiking stick for a little added support and do not place a lot of my body weight on it.

You may find a little difficulties to paddle if your arms are short. I am 5'10, In my opinion, oars should be a little longer. I bought a small trolling motor mounted in the back. It is very helpful when encounter with wave and wind.

my friend was 260. the kayak was 2 inches from the lip. on a still lake its fine, on a moving river don't chance it.

I'd recommending reading through a variety of tips from the many sources available on the internet. A lot of factors go into "correct" length, including your body configuration, the width of your kayak, the type of paddling you do, and on and on. For instance, I prefer a short paddle (220 cm) with big blades for moving water, but need to use a longer (230 cm) paddle for flat water. If I went to a 240 cm paddle for flat water, tracking would be a problem.This is indeed a non-answer-sorry about that-so I'll just say that my flat-water preference would be to error on the long side, and for moving water, error on the short side.And by the way, my Magic Plus is great.

Perhaps best to contact the vendor regarding sizing. I went with the longer paddle for more clearance for a taller person. Personal opinion is if more than one person is using the kayak the longer version serves more people including older children. Hope this helps...

These paddles are not adjustable for length. You buy the paddle in 84" or 96" which is the one I like for most situations. It is adjustable for feather.

This paddle has an adjustable length from 210 CM to 220 cm which works out to about 82.6 to 86.6 inches, It is nice to have the paddles be adjustable if you have boats of different widths OR if you vary between High and low angle paddling.

Nikki, I am 5'9 long legs and I returned the board as I thought the board was NOT long enough for me. My stride/glide was not long enough for the endurance I was looking for. For me...I need 7 or 8 ft board. I hope this helps.

I'm 6'2" and use it at full length. I think the angle will be about the same for you at 6'5" but your feet will be further out in front of you which will put your pelvis into more of a sitting position. I hope that helps.

I am 5'11" and I bought the 220cm paddle. I have a sit on top Necky kayak and it works great for me, not too long or short. Hope this helps.

I have 10' Aruba. I am 5'9", and 96" paddle fits perfectly for me as I am just a recreational user. If you plan sporting white waters, you may want a shorter one.
