7ft Paddle Boards Buyers Guide

Paddle Boards come in various sizes and shapes for specific conditions and uses. 

A 7-foot paddle board is considered very short for a SUP and is generally good for:

Children and Small Riders 

Due to their smaller size, 7ft paddle boards are often best for children and small adults who might find longer boards too cumbersome or challenging to manoeuvre.

Surfing

Shorter SUPs are typically more manoeuvrable in waves. Those looking to use their SUPs for surfing also might opt for a SUP like a 7ft model. 

Whitewater

Just like in surfing, manoeuvrability is key in whitewater SUPing. A shorter board will navigate rapids, and tight river bends quicker than a longer one.

Travel & Portability

If you’re travelling and need something more compact or short on storage space, a 7ft board might be more convenient. It’s easier to transport and store than its longer counterparts.

Skill Development

Advanced paddle boarders sometimes choose shorter boards to challenge their balance and skills. A faster is less stable, requiring the rider to use their core and balance skills more.
