I am 5' 9". In the video you can see my footrest setting at about halfway. The cockpit is wider than a touring class kayak. Spatially, you'll be at the upper limit, but it'll be a comfy fit, with the padding on the side to protect your knees. The weight limit is 300 pounds. That gives about 60 pounds of gear you can load. More than enough for any daytrip. She's fast but also super stable, making her more forgiving of your movements especially getting in and out, which will aid you in having the best day you can on the water. Thank you for taking the time to ask such an important question. If you've any more please feel free to ask. It is my hope my response was adequate. You are the most important person on this channel. Have a wonderful day!

Thanks for the review. I saw the seat and decided it was worth the extra $$$ because of my back issues. I hope it works well in creeks and rivers too.
Nice straightforward review! I'm 6'2 240lbs.... do you think the cockpit and legroom is ample enough?
