Thank you for your prompt reply Mike !
First of all, I forgot to mention that I never built a kayak, or rode one :( This means that the strip built Spring run (it doesn't say on their website whether it's s&g or strip, I just presumed from its superb look) is way too complicated for a complete noob.
Customising a part of a kayak for me to fit better would involve some risks, as I have no experience. It would be great to be able to do that, since my younger brother is also size 15.
About the test-paddle, this would be the ultimate test, but unfortunately I live in Romania, on the Danube's shore. There are a few woodducks, Mill creeks and a shearwater built around here, but the owners are considerably smaller.
Thanks again for the advice !
