Couple of questions: 1. Manufactures and reviewers give maximum feet size that fit comfortably in their kayaks. With a sloping foredeck, doesn't the longer your legs get, the less accommodating the kayak becomes to a bigger foot size? Or, do all manufactures have an optimal, average bulkhead placement, and that's where the recommendation for foot placement and maximum size comes from? Also, maximum foot size doesn't seem to account for footwear, which can add a fair bit of length to your feet with some of these more aggressive water shoes being sold. 2. Are folks locating their spare paddle halves on their foredecks or rear deck. I understand the advantages and disadvantages, but was wondering what the bulk of kayakers do.
