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.
If you can balance well on the board, without the tail dragging or the nose dipping, the board will probably work for you.

How do you size a SUP paddle board?
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.

To walk the board and stand up properly during a surfing lesson, start by lying on your stomach on the board. When you feel a wave approaching, paddle with your arms to catch it. As the wave lifts you up, place your hands on the board and push yourself up into a crouching position. Then, step one foot forward and then the other, keeping your knees bent and your weight centered. Stand up slowly and maintain your balance by keeping your arms out to the sides. Practice this technique to improve your surfing skills.
