STABILITY OR SPEED A wider board is more stable. Boards for touring or racing are thinner (under 30 inches wide) which means they are faster and glide further with each stroke. However, this comes at the expense of stability. Most “all rounder” boards are 32-33 inches and some boards are designed for doing SUP yoga and will be even wider. The stiffness of the board is also an essential part of being stable on the water and this is most dependent on the pressure to which it can be pumped up to (look for at least 15psi) and the thickness of the board (5-6 inches). Anything less than this and you’ll feel like the drunk guy at a junk party trying to stand on a lilo.
HARD TO HANDLE? A smaller board is easier to turn and better if you want to surf waves. It is also of course lighter and easier to carry, but won’t be suitable for a heavier rider or trying to paddle longer distances.
