What size of paddle board should one buy?
The most important determinant of what is the perfect size for the paddle board is an additional 9-10 inches to the height of the paddler. The next to be considered is their weight, their exposure or experience to the sport and where do they plan to paddle. Another important tip is the height will generally vary depending on the primary usage of the board.
There are two things you need to consider when choosing the right size of board for you. These are the board volume and length. Here is a guide on how to get the size.
A very important fact when choosing a paddle board is that it’s very important that it can carry your weight!
SUP Volume
This is the formula to be used in finding the volume of what your board should have.
- Beginner - Total weight in kilograms x 2.2 to 3
- Novice - Total weight in kilograms x 1.8 to 2
- Advance - Total weight in kilograms x 1.3 to 1.8
- Expert /Pro – Total weight in kilograms x 1.1 to 1.3
Next let’s find out how to get the length.
Please refer to the sample board below. You can also personally ask before-hand when buying your paddle board in any physical store or online.
| Weight (kg) | Board Length |
| 22-56 | 9'1" - 11'6" |
| 56-68 | 10'7" - 11'6" |
| 68-79 | 10'7" - 12'6" |
| 79-91 | 11'6" - 12'6" |
| 91-102 | 11'6" - 12'7" |
| 102-113 | 12'7" |
| 113-125 | 12'7" |
What should be the height of the paddle?
To be able to get the right size of the paddle, there are two main factors: the height of the paddler and what is the primary use of the SUP.
There are also adjustable paddles that are available in the market. If you wish for a specific
height, here’s the main guideline:
Surf SUP paddles are 6-8 inches above the paddlers height mainly because of the lower stance needed in surfing.
Flatwater SUP paddles are 8-10 inches above the paddlers height so it can improve the reach and the power of every paddle stroke.
Racing SUP paddles are 10-12 inches above the paddlers height to help to reach the maximum and aid in powering the speed in every paddle stroke.
