recommended paddler weight?

I weigh 120 and did fine. I don't know what the term 'floaty' refers to, but I found that I was able to steer well, found the board to be very stable, and I had fun! You can easily contact the manufacturer, who is very into customer service. I did just that and was assured that the board was ok for my small stature. Good luck!

I weigh 130 pounds and have had my 100 pound dog ride with me without any problems. The board did well.

I think this board can hold up to more than 300 lbs. My 160 lb son and his friend of equal weight easily rode this together without any difficulty.

Hi. I am not 100% sure but I believe it is 250 My husband is 6'2 and board performed well for him. I hope this helps.

I bought the 9'10" inflatable (which is 6 inches thick & has a weight capacity of 350 lbs.). I absolutely love it for the lake. I had no need for the longer version, & wanted the ease of maneuverability, plus being able to carry & stow the board while fully inflated. I like the paddle that's included, too, & it's better than the ones I purchased standalone.

Sure! I'm 130 lbs and my fiance 200 lbs. I sit on the front while he paddles :D

I think 270 should be fine. Im under 150 lbs, but have let men probably very near that size try it out and it did great. Love the saddle floats!

I would say 230 is probably best but it also depends on the width of your kayak. In most cases I would say 230 is best. 240cm might be good if your kayak is like 34+ inches wide. Yes it depends on what kind of kayaking you're doing too. If you're maneuvering white water, maybe shorter 220cm.

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.

I'm 215 and I usually adjust it a little to get comfortable but no problems so far. They will make your canoe trips much more enjoyable. I have one for both my son and myself. We both are very happy with them

I own two of these, and I used them when I was around the 350 mark. They will float with that much weight but obviously they sit lower in the water. Hope that helps

We have two kayaks. One is a Wilderness Pungo 120, and the other is a Wilderness Tsunami 125. Both boats fit fine on these hooks, and they weigh approx. 50 pounds, with no problem. You can get them on the hooks easily, and I consider them a great buy.

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.

Mine was a 3/4 weight but handles a 5 wt line nicely. A 4wt line would work nice also.

I think paddle length has more to do with the width of the kayak than how tall you are. I had a shorter paddle because the salesperson said that's what I needed because I'm under 5 feet and it threw water all over me. That was the reason I bought this one and it's perfect. 84 inches should be fine with a 29 inch wide kayak.

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 am 5'5" tall. I purchased a 220 cm paddle. Paddle performs well for me. If I were to buy another paddle, I would purchase a 230 cm.

Being on the low end of the weight scale will only require a little more patience breaking them in and practice, so 158-198 should be fine. Excellent gift idea! However, I would recommend wrist pads too. Happy Holidays!

I am 230 lbs and my wife is 140 lbs and we both can paddle on it without any issue. I sit in the front and she stands up and paddles in the back or we both sit and use kayak paddles and paddle. It is very comfortable with the two of us on this at one time. I believe this is rated for 700 lbs.
