6’7” and use one of the 12ft Ascends from Cabelas. Plenty of leg room with seat all the way back, I actually don’t have the foot rests all the way out.
Respectfully disagree. I have a 12 ft ascend. Stable yes, but paddles like a barge and the front end sits so low, a small chop in the water splashes over the bow slightly and mild rapids in a river jump over the bow as well, flooding the whole deck. I have 3 different sit on top kayaks and my ascend is the only one that takes on water inside the hull. Only about a pint or two on a 5 hour float, but enough to be annoying.
I would stay away from anything Bass pro or Cabellas or dicks or academy. Go with a real kayak company that builds quality stuff. (Kind partial time Jackson’s myself).
