Kayaks were longer with higher volume so bigger paddlers didn't really have difficulty finding one that they would comfortably fit in back in the old days.

However, as kayak designs have become progressively shorter with lower volume, many larger paddlers find that they are being squeezed out of the fun or subjected to painfully cramped boats. Enter the Blaze 7.3: A premier playboat/ river runner that truly offers extra-large paddlers exceptional comfort AND performance. Field reports from our test paddlers have been outstanding -- pushing the limits on Class V whitewater reporting not only a wide range of forgiveness, but that the Blaze skimmed across holes and surfaced equal to most creek boats. Thanks to the Comfort Fit outfitting, the reviews have also been outstanding for the "custom fit" larger paddlers have all but given up on -- until now.
