Sizing your Stand up Paddle Board is dependent upon a lot of items, such as water conditions - flat water vs. rough water vs. surf. The short answer, if you are just beginning to do SUP is that the cut-off weight between an 11 foot board and a 12 foot board is about 170 pounds. If you are below 170 pounds - choose an 11 foot board. If up are above 170 pounds, a 12 foot board will be a better choice. If you are a light-weight, you can go less than 11 feet. One important consideration is being able to carry your board. If you are a light weight and prefer a 12 foot board, but you can't carry it, it isn't very practical.

Can my ten and a half foot long longboard be used as a stand up paddle board?
Many long boards can be used as a Stand Up Paddle board, and many of them are becoming more flexible and can also be used as a sit-on-top kayak when a seat is added. Usually, SUP boards are 11 - 12 feet long. The weight cut-off is 170 pounds - use 11 foot board if you are under 170 - use 12 foot board if you are over. However, lighter weigh people can use shorter boards. The water conditions also need to be considered - surf, flat water, rough water.
