In Response To: Strip: Which Kayak to Build - P.S. Shoe Size!! (Ed Gutgesell)

I have size 14's, am 6'4" and weigh in at 235. I decided to build the OneOceanKayak Cape Ann. It was designed with the larger paddler in mind and is working out great for me. I have to be careful what I'm wearing on my feet though. Paddling booties are fine, but sandles and thicker boating shoes just won't fit (at least not in my experience thus far).

: P.S. I was advised on the BMBS forum to also give you my shoe size because it
: can make a difference in the kayak design.

: Size 12

: Thanks for your replies!!!
