In Response To: Strip: room for feet (Aaron)

: Ive searched previous posts but couldnt find anything about foot room in
: kayaks. Ive got a guillemot. My shoesize is 13. My feet do not have enough
: room. any suggestions on how to make this work? It seems like it might be
: a common problem.

It seems we keep coming down in shoe size. I am size 8 and have that problem in my Shooting Star. Part of the problem is my feet don't have the flexibility to spray well. I solved my problem by buying a pair of neoprene booties with a thin sole that doesn't extend out around the edge that is used for surfboarding. I found them online in Hawaii.
