6' 0", 33" inseam, long arms

Savage Skeeter OC1, 8.5" saddle
Necky Switch C1, 5.5" saddle
Probe OC2, ~10" saddle

60" kevlar 3M for OC2
56" glass Bandit for C1/OC1
53" Stearns breakdown for roll practice :lol:

I like the 56" paddle far better for the Skeeter, now that I've lowered the saddle to a reasonable height. I'll be ordering another Galasport, 56 or 57 inches.
