The size board a user would choose depends on the user’s weight, although height can also be a factor. Wider boards give better stability for beginners, as well as users who plan to do casual activities with their board, such as yoga, touring and fishing. Narrower boards are more agile and are mostly used by advanced paddlers and for SUP surfing.
