Bliss-Stick Rad 195

Anyone out here paddled the Rad 195 (tall guys especially), I cant sit in any playboat without my legs going numb after 20 mins... even my current LL CR250. Any thoughts... Besides stick to creeking, which I usually do anyway!

6'5" 200

I am 6'0 which seems small compared to you but I found the RAD to be very small. I have high hopes for the new playboats to be comfy. The best ones I have found so far is the 420 and the project 62

My opinion is different; the RAD is a very roomy playboat...even though it looks small (short), it is quite large when you sit in it. I am 6'2 and I paddle the 185 with plenty of room compared to other playboats. I paddle it for this reason...comfort. I can fit in the 175 as well but I am a little too heavy for it. At 200 pounds, the 195 could be a good choice. It does seem that bigger playboats are emerging thoughout other companies too, so you might even have a choice to make this summer.

I may have been in the smallest RAD.

I'm 6'6" 210 and I paddle the fluid flirt L very happily but I've never had a chance to try the RAD.
