note LL Remix Birthday Present HELP New

Forum: BoaterTalk

From: jmcdonou

Iâm new to kayaking and Iâm looking at getting my girlfriend into the sport as well.  
I am 6â3â 200 lbs.  I found a used Mega Rocker that Iâm a big fan of.

She is 5â10â and somewhere in between 110 and 140  (I canât get a honest answer out of her)  

I had her sit in a Remix 59 the other weekend but we didnât have time to put in the water.  She wants a boat that can she can run some 2s and 3s, be used as a buddy boat for our friends and that I will be able to use as a river runner.  

We are trying to decide between a LL Remix 59 or 69.  Would the extra 3 inches in length really be that much harder for her?  She would be really light for the 69 but I would be heavy for the 59 with gear.  

We are trying to find some free time to put them both in the water but Iâd like to hear some input from someone who isnât making commission.  

Thanks for your help

note the 69 is the right size for you, but it will be a tub for her IMO whirlybird New
