I am 5'4 and 115. i was smaller when i bought it. I like the boat a lot. I carves better than the vision and has a good fit. Include your skill in playboats. Can you roll? Cartwheel? Loop? bowstall? anyway, i'm happy to help

Those smart English...next time, I will give my weight in a number of potatoes...for those who do not know the enlightend English unit system: 1 stone = 0.036 261 108 slinch.

For those who want to convert more interesting units into other interesting units (I get especially confused with things like BTU's and gallons and barrels and all that), just go to www.onlineconversion.com.

And on topic: demoing boats is the only way to find out if the boat is suitable for you and the features around your area!! Me for example, can't believe that any Jackson kayak will surf better on a wave than the LL Vision, but ay, that's just me!
