I've had my Adventure for 5 years and love it. I use it mostly in the ocean and its very stable. Sailing rudder is a must and turbo fins work real nice. I use my paddle often when maneuvering into a certain spot. Its not your height, its your inseam. I'm 6'1" and my pedals are one click away from full extension. You can't beat them for fishing since your hands are free.
