The ones I just installed are adjustable so anybody can use it and I don't like over paddling on one side of the Kayak with a 15 foot Kayak a little breeze makes me have to paddle on one side more...on occasion i was constantly paddling on the right side just to keep going straight the whole way back into the harbor
