Here's an 8" with recurve I ran on mine last year. Yes, they work.

The recurve feature works great, channeling the air higher than would a standard design. I have the 8" shield (smoked), and at 5' 10" is about right for me. At your height I would think you should go a step higher, which would be a 9½".

I'm 6'5" and have an 8" recurve, plenty of "quiet" air, I actually think I could have gone with a 6" or 7" and been ok. Here's a couple pic the wife is 5'5". Hope this helps
