What Size Paddle Board Do I Need? Length and Width Chart
Most adults should start on a 10'6" board about 30–32 in (76–81 cm) wide: stable, easy to turn and long enough to glide. Lighter paddlers and children suit a 9 ft board; 12 ft boards suit longer distances; narrow 14 ft boards are for experienced paddlers who want speed. Wider and thicker means more stable.

Length: turning vs gliding
- 9 ft: easy to carry and turn; kids and lighter paddlers.
- 10'6": the all-round size most people should buy first.
- 12–12'6": track straighter and carry more gear.
- 14 ft: fastest, needs more skill.
Width and thickness: stability
Width does most of the work for stability: 81–84 cm boards feel very steady, 69 cm boards feel tippy to beginners. Thickness adds volume: our standard boards are 15 cm (6 in) thick, which keeps the board stiff at 12–15 PSI.
What else comes with the board?
Our boards ship with a paddle, backpack, hand pump with pressure gauge, ankle leash, repair kit and detachable fins.
