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.
