Which size?

Check the dimensions, volume and Fit Check on the product page. Your weight, experience and local waves all matter.

A little more sizing guidance

More volume generally helps with paddling and catching waves. Length and width add stability, while a shorter board is easier to redirect once you have the skill. The same volume feels different across board shapes, so body weight alone cannot tell you the right size.
