Yes, it's for a friend.
I'd like an old boat (ie cheap) for a tall and skinny guy wanting to learn to paddle. Any suggestions? Does anyone have one they'd be happy to unload at rendezvous? He's kind of a letter L too (big feet).

Forget the boat, how is sideshow bob going to fit all that hair under a helmet?

But seriously, check with Chester. He's like 7'2". Any boat that fits him should be a good candidate.

I am about 6 foot 146 pounds and I drive Pyranha Stretch M/L and a 6'5 person could fit in it easily. It has plenty of adjustment in the outfiting for leg room. It was around 675 new.

I'm 6'3, 185 and have a size 14 foot.

I paddle a Pyranha 420 m/l and I fit in it great. Most comfortable boat I have had.
