I'm glad I'm not the only tall and not-so-skinny guy here that has to enter a key hole feet first, 6' 2" and 206lbs and long legs. With those cockpit sizes, if I drop in bum first the coming rim at the front ends up just below my knees. I can do this quickly in a small chop and in fast current (class 2/3 whitewater) but I end up very intimate with the back band if you get my meaning.
