Hi JohnK,
Thanks for the feedback. However this kayak has its rear bulkhead 40mm behind the rear of the opening. how much can i lower the rear with only 40mm to play with?
Another worry I have is that i chose this design because I am 1.91m with US size 14 shoes.
Will lowering the front of the cockpit affect my ability to enter as well as long term comfort?
Cheers
