I am 5'6" ... Will the 84 inch paddle be too big for me?

No, I am 5' 9" and use the 96" and feel the 84" is too short for my preference. At 5' 6" the 84" should fit you nicely. Be sure to search you tube for "how to" paddle videos.

I don't think so. My wife uses this size paddle and she is 5'9". If you are going to error in paddle size - always go longer rather than shorter.

I am 5'11" and I bought the 220cm paddle. I have a sit on top Necky kayak and it works great for me, not too long or short. Hope this helps.

If you mean stand up paddle, no, it is too small at 6 feet. A small child <45 lbs might be able to SUP on it.

I think it will. I am 5' 6'' and there is plenty of room on the slide board for someone who is taller. It should be able to fit pretty much anyone.

You'll be fine. I'm 230 and this thing doesn't even dip when I stand on it. Definitely the right board for you. Might want to look into a bigger paddle, but that's something else entirely. The paddle that comes with the board will definitely get you started.

Perhaps best to contact the vendor regarding sizing. I went with the longer paddle for more clearance for a taller person. Personal opinion is if more than one person is using the kayak the longer version serves more people including older children. Hope this helps...

I am 5"8" and have plenty of room for both upper and lower body. the slide board probably has about six inches in space left.

I have 10' Aruba. I am 5'9", and 96" paddle fits perfectly for me as I am just a recreational user.If you plan sporting white waters, you may want a shorter one.

I think you'll be fine. I'm A 5-foot woman and my stepdaughter is 5' 8" -- we use the same thing with no problem.

I am almost the same size and weight and i have enjoyed the pelican board paddle very much. I have never used a different one so I can't know how it is to ride on a smaller one. The size is ok for me

I don't see the point of that. Buy a board that you can carry, that's suitable for your weight, & that is suitable for your type of paddling. That should do the job!Edited to add that I'm very happy with my Greco board & paddle, & have had great customer service from the company as well.

I am a six foot male so I cannot give you an answer from my own experience. However, I suspect a problem would occur with a very tall user who could not get full leg extension. I don't think that your stature would prevent you from having prorper use of this rower.

These paddles are not adjustable for length. You buy the paddle in 84" or 96" which is the one I like for most situations. It is adjustable for feather.

Hi, I'm in my late fifties, 5'6 and about 120. I can carry this just fine. Only issue is the length, which is awkward for me. It's a fun board, and very stable, not very quick to maneuver, ok for our twisty slow river.

I wouldn't chance it. I cannot attest to that as I am 150 and husband is 195. Also, this kayak is much better for a me, smaller framed person. I'm 5' 2" and it is the correct size for me, but my husband is 6' and cannot sit comfortably because he cannot straighten out his knees.

I'm 6 foot 2 inches and about 290. It rides smooth for me. I haven't owned it for a long time, however, I think if I don't bounce up and down on it and act like a ding dong it should hold up. The biggest challenge for tall people would be the cross bar. If you don't time it right and bring the bar back down first before you move forward your knees won't clear. Not a big deal. Just have to maintain your form.

I think so, I'm 6'0" and don't have any problems with it. Love it actually, just make sure you weigh it down because it slides a lot if you don't.
