How long is 6'3" in SI unit's (metric system)? I'm 1m93 and thinking (dreaming)
about a XS. Do I fit in this plane? 
When I count 3 feet for one meter you are both more than 2 meters! This is is
even for Dutch people very tall. So if you can manage to close the canopy over
your head then I will have a comfortable seat. 
But if I did count wrong (1 foot is less then 0,33 meter) I probably will have
the same problems you have. Are there different feet in the UK, US and 
'down under'? I know of two different gallons and three different miles, and in
early days the Amsterdam foot was different from the Rotterdam foot.

Greetings,
