Size Guide
Paddle Board Size / Selection Guide:
If stability is your number one concern, choose a bigger board. Larger boards are more stable and easier to balance on, especially for beginners, but they are slightly slower to paddle. Smaller boards are lighter and faster, but less forgiving.
Children / Youth 10-15 years old should generally use boards under 10 feet. For ages 10 and up, most riders prefer a 10 foot or 10'6 board because it offers better balance, more stability, and a more comfortable ride overall.
Adults
For most adults under approximately 160 lbs, a 10 foot or 10'6 board is ideal. These sizes offer a good balance of stability, maneuverability, and ease of use, making them the most popular choice for recreational paddling.
Adults over 160 lbs, or anyone wanting extra stability, better weight capacity, or room for gear, an extra person, a cooler, a child or pet on board, should consider a 10'6 or 11 foot board. These larger sizes provide noticeably better stability and flotation, especially on longer paddles.
If you are between sizes, choosing the larger option (11'FT) is usually the better choice. Bigger boards are more forgiving, easier to learn on, and more comfortable for most riders.
Board shape has little to no impact for typical use in Canada. Our boards are designed mainly for lakes, ponds, and rivers, where shape differences are minimal. “Ocean” or “Ocean Pro” boards are better suited for rougher, moving waterways and ocean conditions. Unless you plan to paddle primarily in the ocean, a standard all-around board is the best choice.
D-rings allow you to attach accessories such as kayak seats, coolers, dry bags, leashes, and other gear. All of our boards include D-rings unless clearly shown otherwise on the product listing.
Removable fins make boards slightly easier to pack into carrying bags and save space during transport or storage. They do not provide any performance benefit on the water once installed.
If you are unsure which size to choose, prioritizing stability is rarely a mistake. More stability means easier learning, fewer falls, and a better overall experience.
