6'4" Tall... recommend me a kayak

    Hey guys, I'm here to ask the experts a question.
    I'm 6'4" tall / 100Kg / size11 feet! :) and am looking to get back to my paddling.
    Basically I need a kayak for river-running that will be comfortable to sit in.
    I used to own a Fluid Solo L but i sold it some years back.
    I would consider buying another one, but at times I even found the foot room constrictive on that boat.
    Can anyone recommend me other options?
    I hear the Dagger Mamba 8.6 might be a good fit.
    What about the Dagger MX?
    Appreciate any guidance on this.
    Fanks!!

    Best thing to do is head to I-Canoe, bring your river boots and try a few for size

    Jackson Zen L

    whooper boat, fun to paddle, fast, forgiving and turns on a dime.

    Loads of room in it.

    Mamba 8.6 is my advice. Im just under 6'3 and 97Kg's.

    Love this boat!

    How about Sea Eagle Razorlite 393rl, it has 500-pound load capacity and an interior of 11'7" x 1'6". Or better yet, try checking out directly at Outdoor Gear Up website about kayaks recommendation.
