Foot Room Question


nub

Recommended Posts

I am a new Forum member, considering building a Vardo or a Ravenswood.  I am 6', 180#, size 12 shoe.  I sit slightly bowlegged with heels together and toes out in my footrests.  Could anyone please share their experiences with footroom in these kayaks.  Thanks!

I am pretty sure VARDO is larger in the foot area but it's not something I have every measured (and not sure how to do that). "I THINK" you will fit in either one but I can't promise it.  This is one area I wish I could give a better answer but everyone is different in the way they sit in a boat.

I'm 6' with a size 14.  My kayak is a Messaround.  Sitting bowlegged with the balls of my sandals on the footrests, my heels ride just off the floor skin and the toes don't touch.  I find it's best if you ride with your foot parallel with the chine wall.  If I build another, I'll add a plywood heel pad to keep from rubbing the bottom skin.
