of the bottom of the seat and it's going well. I am 6 ft 8 inches, 195 lbs (a bit over 2m and 88kg) and I have paddled the V10 with the foot plate extension kit for 3 years and a Fenn Elite with the stock foot plate for the past year and a half and the Fenn has more length. I did try out one of the new redesigned Think skis and was amazed that I could extend the plate well past the spot that I needed. Astounding!
