What is Stand up paddle

As the name suggests, it’s standing up on a board and paddling. The boards are usually longer and wider than a regular surfboard; a normal stand up paddle board for a beginner is about 11 to 13 feet in length and 30 to 34 inches wide and is very buoyant. There are many shapes and sizes of boards and it all comes down to what type of water you intend to use it on, whether for the surf or flat water such as lakes etc.

Next important item is the paddle which ideally should be about 6 inches taller than the rider
