In reply to Reuben Ellis. Thanks. I’m 140 lbs and primarily use it just to paddle the coast and snorkel.

In reply to Corby. Hi Corby . As you know boards come in all sizes and this really depends on your body weight, ability and what you want to do with it. Most paddlers enjoy boards of 29" to 32" wide in the sea and around 11'6" long. What are you looking to do with it?

Im 5. 2”. What length should my SUP be? I paddle in the ocean. The large boards are difficult to haul around and the inflatables just not stable enough for ocean use.

In reply to Lizzy. Hey Lizzy, Yeah it could be paddle length but also don't underestimate blade size ether. Any more questions, let us know. Thanks Reuben

Very helpful! I think I’ve been injuring my shoulder with a too long paddle setting.. Important to get this right, so thanks for this article 🙂
