: I am 6' and I weigh 200 lbs size 12 feet. I have been looking at the Redfish
: King and was wondering about the size of people who are really happy with
: it. Thanks in advance!

Hi Rob -

Wish I could get to R2K3 but I'm here in Ohio. Anyway, I just ordered the plans for the King after talking with Joe yesterday. He's about our size, I'm 215lbs and 6'1" and he assured me that the King would be just fine. Can't wait to build it. Sounds like it will be great for Lake Erie waves and chop.

Now I know what I'll be building this winter!

Jim
