I am 5'6" ... Will the 84 inch paddle be too big for me?

No, I am 5' 9" and use the 96" and feel the 84" is too short for my preference. At 5' 6" the 84" should fit you nicely. Be sure to search you tube for "how to" paddle videos.

I don't think so. My wife uses this size paddle and she is 5'9". If you are going to error in paddle size - always go longer rather than shorter.

I am 6'2" and use the 4" hip cushion very comfortably. The 6" would be too high for you. Good luck.

I am pretty sure the machine will accommodate your height to over 6 feet...I am 5.6 and it works just fine

It may work for you. I am 6'2" and the handles are all the way to the top. I put the handles all the way to the bottom notch and it should work for you. Maybe you can try one out someplace before you buy it. Do you know anyone that has one of these? I would try to test one out before you buy one just to be sure it's comfortable for you. (:

There are always fit issues when dealing with tandem stoker vs. captain set up. I'm 6 feet and my wife is 5'2" and we have been able to make the set up work for us. I would think at 5'7" and 5'0" you should be all right, so long as you don't mind spending a couple of hours fine tuning your fits. The problem with this model is that the seat posts are not quick release, so you need to have an Allen wrench set with you for your first couple of spins, just to fine tune in your fits.

I'm 240 lbs and 6'3" .. It'll handle 300 with no problem. In fact. I think it could go as high as 450 lbs with no problems. Maybe even more. That would be like 2 large people, if one desires tandum paddling. It's 8" thick and sits very high on the water for me. In the spec's, it seems it was rated at around 800 lbs. (?)

I'm 6'4" too. No problems with the handle bar . More important is your weight. I am 265 lb, battery dies in 30 min.

I'm 5'3" and it's a little too tall for me. I think you'll love it. It is very sturdy and easy to adjust.

Yes. I am 6ft 200 lbs and its a perfect fit. It's harder to find a bike that fits you at 6ft or taller. You need to focus on how high the seat goes to get a straight leg stroke, and the distance of the seat to the handlebars to fit the length of longer arms. If its too tight, you feel crowded/uncomfortable. This bike also has some fit adjustments too.

Yes, my friend is 6'5" and used it all of the time. It didn't have a ton of extra room, but it will definitely fit.

I am 5'10"&185lbs,and fit fairly comfortably in this kayak. As I mentioned in my review,I would estimate a person of 6' would be about max,given the limited leg and foot room in this kayak.I would suggest a sit on top kayak for a 260lb person as a comfortable alternative to a conventional kayak.

You determine the length. Stand with the paddle upright. the paddle should reach the bottom of your hand when your arm is extended straight up. I am 6 feet tall, and my paddle is 7'4". Most paddles are adjustable within a few inches, but too long is better than too short. And, this is one of the best paddles available. Good choice.

Yes, but it will be a loose fit. The paddle fits better inside the pants and it feels more secure there,

Hard to say so. I'm 5'5" and it is good, but I think 6" shorter could be uncomfortable.

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.

Greetings. I am 260 & it works fine for my weight. However, I'm 6' 1" & the height with the stick fully extended is just right for me. So at 6' 6" it may be iffy.

Yes, you'll be fine. My buddy is 6.5 and he has no issues. I'm on it every day. Holds up nicely.
