Default What glider will fit a 6' 7" giant?

If I can do math correctly, he's 2m tall. Well, in my opinion (I'm
1.87m and I have some friends over 2m) it very much depends on his
body shape, the leg-torso proportion, and how fat or slim he is.

Being slim helps a lot, and he might fit into an LS4 or LS1f, maybe a
DG202. Astir cockpits also come in different variants, some of them
are quite roomy and comfortable. You should investigate further.

At a higher price, the "C" variants of Ventus2 / Discus 2 sailplanes
are the best for tall pilots.
