This kayak is quick– it will change your idea about average paddling speeds.
Shorter than many fast kayaks, it handles well in wind and waves.

This is the ‘High Deck’ variant (HV), so there is plenty of room for larger feet, and capacity to carry gear, food, and water for camping trips.

Is this still for sale? Do you think the 16’8” is long enough for a 6’3” paddler? Thanks

Yes, it's still for sale.
I wear 30" inseam pants, and there's about 7-8" of space in front of the footboard when the boat is adjusted to fit me.
So I don't think leg room will be an issue. Paddler weight and gear load would be more important, I think.

I am very interested in this vessel. I live on Orcas Island across the border from you. Was hoping to coordinate a time for me to come and check out/potentially purchase the boat. Would love to ask some questions in the meantime anyways... Thanks!
