half a year later, I'm back with more questions... this time spring is coming, compared to winter Wink

After a lot of shuffling between various brands and models... I'm back to Advanced Elements for the reason of better tracking,
and back to the Sport for the reasons of:

-aluminum ribs and V front to cut thru water, and skeg to track
-large open-top, for easier entry and exit, and to kneel indian style in
-light enough to carry a distance through trails to the water
-roomy enough for someone 6'1" and 150


I have a few more questions on the Sport...

What are the dimensions of the seat opening?
It looks about 39inches long, and 20inches wide


I find kneeling indian style (kneeling, sitting on back of heels) to be the most comfortable. For those who are experienced with paddle sizing - what would be a good paddle size for someone 6'1" wanting to paddle this indian style kneeling?
I'm looking for casual paddling and gliding on still lakes or gentle rivers.

THanks
