How long are your legs? I only ask because I ran into problems with the Fun. My weight should put me in the 2Fun, but my leg length bumped me up into the Fun. :angry: Just something to consider...

I personally think you'd be too heavy for the fin. I paddle the fun and I weigh 145lbs just about 60kg. I'm also 5"6 and paddle with friends who are only a fraction taller and they prefer the 4fun.
I think you would have a hard time paddling the fun for sure and the next size up would be better.

Are you hoping to do more river running or playing? that would also play into which one to get, but, yes, as Saz said, you'd probably do better in the 4Fun.

Hey Im 5'8" and 169lb and size 10

And I have a 4FUN and it feels way to big for me and im limited with trying tricks but I think with your total weight it should be perfect ( to throw around )

Hey I'm 6"2 and 185lbs. I recently gave the 4fun a try and it felt pretty big even for me. I was looking for more of a freestyle boat anyway. If I were you I would try the fun out. There's nothing worse than feeling that you're missing out on some fun because you're in a boat that is too big. If you can go for the elite version. Happy feet and sweet cheeks have changed my life!
