Board size depends on your weight, skill level, and intended use. For all-around paddling, we recommend: under 180 lbs — 10'6" board; 180-230 lbs — 11' board; over 230 lbs — 12'6" board. For touring and long-distance, go longer (12'6"–14'). Use our Board Finder Quiz for a personalized recommendation based on your specific needs.
