I don't like a wet seat so the beach chair works good for me. The radar is $400 more than the ride but I think it will be worth it to me. I don't like that there is no rod tip protection though. The Pescador Pilot actually looks better to me but I don't know how it is to paddle and I know the radar is designed to paddle and then add peddles to it later.

Hope the Ride works for you. We have one in MB shop, Midnight. There are not a lot of options out there with a regular clip in style seat. We have the Radar here but probably not a good choice for your size as the seat sits up a little higher. Other option would be an XFactor.

Going to Andy's on Fri to check one out. Radar is out due to the chair. Xfactor is out due to the narrow footwells. Thanks though.

I hated the narrow footwells in the Malibu yaks I've owned, and the boats were so wide that it was almost uncomfortable to hang my feet over the sides. The kraken I owned had narrow footwells as well but the boat was narrower so hanging the feet over the sides was comfortable. That Ride 135 doesn't look to have wider footwells from their picture, but hope it works out. At least it seems narrow enough to hang your feet over the sides comfortably when you need relief from the footwells.
