Probably, but it also depends on the size and model of your boat. If your using skinny sit in, it is probably is too much paddle. If your on a wide sit on top it might suit your needs...

Yes you need to go to any kayak site that list heights and paddle recommended. This paddle is good for say 5'10" and over roughly.

Being 5'6" I would suggest you get the shorter model and that's because it would best mimic your normal swing path. The longer one would cause you to reach.

I think it's about 6ft long. I am 5'1 and there was at least a foot left. It's really long, so you should be good. :)

My wife is 5'1 and found it comfortable. You can easily adjust it for your height.

No... it will work great. My girlfriend uses it and she's only 5'1"... she loves it.

I'm 6'1" and did not have any problem with the length. I'm 77 and use it to control weeds in the next door lot that I own. I've only used it a few times but did NOT feel sore from bending over.

I'm 6"1' and I think it will work for you. I like the adjustments that you can make and it is comfortable. Fairly easy to put together.

You could try tucking the extra length under the legs or if you're handy with a sewing machine, you could take the extra off both ends but I wouldn't put it on a 5' table otherwise. It will look sloppy.

Well I am 5'2" and my husband is 6'1 and we can sit comfortably but it's is rather smallish which is what we wanted...ours is on a reed enclosed deck and even in minus temps it's been very comfortable out there :) love it!!!

Nope. You will be perfectly fine using this equipment. My mom is also 5' tall and had no issues using it. In fact, she really enjoys using it.

No dumb questions my friend. It's just under 5.75 inches long. You could shorten it some but I'm not sure how that will look. You could try two of the smaller 2" long risers.

I am 5'11" and have to set mine a notch or two shorter than it's tallest possible configuration. I definitely think you will not have a height issue with this thing.

Unfortunately 5 inches seems a bit long in my estimation. However i am not 100% sure

I'm 5'1" and don't have any problems reaching any of the lines. You'll love it!

That's hard to say sine I've never been taller than 5'10". But I suppose it might be a squeeze typical for yourself or anyone so large. In fact, I would suggest you contact the manufacturer since I there is the possibility that the sliding posts may not go that far up. Personally, I would suggest a much beefier 45-degree leg sled that could hold a lot more weight and afford easier access to the seat.

I have the 5' one at it is very big. I am 6'1" and it is plenty big. Takes up a lot of floor space. Expanded to about 5' in diameter.

I'm 5'5" and love it. Not sure about adjustments, etc... sorry can't be more help, tho I don't see a big problem.
