This boat looks great. The only thing i don't like about my RAD 195 is that it is a little bit too wide (for blunts and oilcanning). I'm also looking for something with a bit more tail rocker for pop and back-blasts. looks like Bliss-Stick are making my perfect boat (if they decide to make some bigger sizes)

If you compare with the RAD 185, which is a little longer but basically the same specs for volume - the weight range seems to be about 65 - 110 kgs
143 - 243 lbs

I'm 6'1" and fit comfortably. I have to wedge myself into the Fluid Nemesis Kayaks but fit comfortably in the Bliss-Sticks...may just be me though, if you can try paddling one first.

At 240 the 185 RAD is a squirrely ride, trust me... the smoothy is smaller than the 185 too

I did paddle it that day but was just too small 4 me....

Id try the 185 RAD, and get into a smoothy... If fat so i tend to sink most boats :p
