180 lbs and Dagger Juice 6.9 - too heavy? 17 years 1 month ago #20838

I've got a line on a Juice 6.9 for cheap. I haven't had the chance to paddle it and I'm a little concerned that being at the top of its posted weight range, 180 lbs isn't a good thing. Any opinions? I'm a new kayaker who will mostly be river running / playing as I go.

I am roughly around that weight 78kgs, can cartwheel that boat very easily, and it floats well. I think you will be fine :)
