What Size SUP do I need for my weight and height? #paddleboard #paddleboarding #supboarder

Any iSUP will do right?!
Wrong!… choosing the right size iSUP for your weight AND HEIGHT as well as having it at the correct PSI is essential if you want the best performance from your board and you.
A SUP is very much like a bike, in how choosing the right sized one to suit the rider makes it easier to use, perform better and all the more enjoyable!
So, as well as choosing the right board for the type of paddling you want to do eg surf or touring, make sure you also consider board width and board thickness, both of which should be determined by your size (weight and height).
People come in all shapes and sizes, and so do iSUPs! So make sure you know how to choose the right size board for you.

Probably one of the most informative and impartial videos I've seen!

Wow, clear, concise and informative.

Very interesting 👍 and some good advice

How do you recommend people make decisions about the width of a board if their height and weight aren’t in the same category? According to my weight a 30” board is best, but for my height 32” is recommended. This is an amazing video! All your guides are really helpful

I so wish I watched this before buying my 12'6"x 30"x 6". Too narrow for this big fatty😊. If I do it over, I'm going for a much wider board. I'm spending far more energy fighting to stay aboard than I am paddling.

Other than continuing incredibly entertaining dismounts, would those training wheel outrigger floats be a less costly fix than buying another board?

What about length? Is 10.6 the general starting rule for almost everyone? I see some offering only minute smaller boards like 10.0.

Hi, very nice video! Do you have some overall advice for board length as well, in relation to a persons height and weight?
In my example I'm 180 cm/5'11" and 100 kg/220 lb. I'm buying my first SUP after trying a small one for a few days and am torn between 3 boards from Aqua Marina:
Fusion (10'10"x32"x6"), Magma (11'2"x33"x6") & Monster(12'0"x33"x6").
Sorry for listing all these details, but just some general advice about length would be nice :)

I had a bluefin carbon sprint 14ft until i had to send it back because it had a crack in the fin box and found that board really stable I've now got a Rogue 12.6 and I'm struggling with stability I'm 5ft 8 and around 16st🙈 what do you think is the problem please?

Hi guys! If choosing between the 12.6x30 and 11.6x29 sizes, would there be a significant difference in the speed of these boards? What do you think will have a bigger impact: slightly longer length or slightly smaller width?
PS: my weight is 55-60kg, height 174cm

excellent thanks. is 35" paddleboard to wide? i want to buy it to attach kayak seat and also use it for fishing

[Chinhnguyen]

does a few inches difference in width matter? I am looking to buy a cheap isup and don't want to spend too much on it, there is 28 and 31 inch to choice

[Treemre]

I'm struggling to choose between the BOTE Wulf Aero 10'4 or 11'4 or get the BOTE Breeze Aero 10'8 and I'm 6'2 and about 220 lbs please advise

[wtt_is]

Didn’t mention the recommended height?!?

[francis]

Is 34’ too much width for me? I’m 5’6 in height
