Kevin, Michael Crudge, Michael McSweeney and Paul Kearney have Sidekicks. I also paddled with one for a while.
I'd advise you to look at the Player instead of the Sidekick, they are a very big blade (ditto d Powerhouse V's the Sherpa) and I'd reckon way too big for you.
The player is slightly smaller than the Sidekick, 675 sq cm V's 725 sq cm's. You'll be more in control of the paddle and will get more out of it as a result. Less likelihood of straining yourself too.

Hi Kevin, I have the Sherpa's if you want to see what the difference between the Powerhouse and Sherpa's is like. Might give you an idea of the difference between the Sidekick and Player. Let me know if you want a go.
