I'm 5'10" and 150 lbs.
A little background: I've had an ACL replacement in my left knee, IT band surgery in my right knee, and surgery on my left hip for a broken femur. I am very inflexible and need lots of leg room.
I sat in the RAD 185 and it felt like it swallowed me whole. The Jackson Fun, All Star, and LL CR 125 were ok on the comfort side, but I never could get them outfitted the way I wanted. The first day I sat in the Smoothy, I knew it was my boat. Tons of leg room, very comfortable and adjustable outfitting as is standard on a Bliss-Stick kayak. I have room to move around and not have any hip or knee pain. I think that's pretty kick ass for a boat that is 6'1" The comfort level was good enough to allow me to spend 15 out of the 16 days we were on the Grand Canyon paddling this kayak.
As far as the performance goes, I'm not the person to tell you. I suck in a playboat and a spin and unintentional cartwheel is as good as it gets. For person who "plays" down the river and likes to make it a little more interesting, I love the boat.
