I'm 6'6", size 12, and weigh about, well lets just leave it at 6'6", size 12, and I'll go home and try that helium trick.

I have had the pleasure of paddling a Guillemot (Ross' actually), and while I couldn't get in butt first like I can my Pygmy Coho, it was snug and comfortable. I did have decent foot room once inside, and if you don't mind having to enter feet first, it's fine.

C

: any difficulty with the fit of my Guillemot. I'm 6', size 11, and probably
: 205 lbs with lungs full of helium. I'm pretty sure I built the cockpit to
