I am looking for a paddle board for my wife. She is 5' 3" and is pretty small. Is this a good board for her? Is there something else I should look at?

Yes it is a great board but a little on the heavy side for her to perhaps get in/out water
1353676
It is pretty big and heavy. I bought it for my wife and had to send it back for this very reason.

This is bigger and heavier for herI bought for my son 5'11 and 180 lbsHe is very happy with this

I'm 5'2" 125# this is an excellent board for me. I've only fallen once, and have used it for three eight mile float trips, and lots of shorter trips on the milder portions of the Colorado River (Parker Strip). It weighs 50# but after a month of using it, I can pick it up and carry it upstairs by myself. I am 61 years old. I'm guessing your wife will love it.

My wife is 5'6(130lb) and it works great. Im 6'1 (190lb) and its great for me too. Its a little heavy/awkward for a smaller lady to carry but can be done. At 5'3 she might be able to go with a shorter/smaller board too. They are great boards though.

I own 2 of these paddle boards and also own 2 epoxy boards the pelican boards are more stable but weigh more. My wife can easily carry the epoxt board from the truck to the beach but needs help with the Pelican board. They are a lot of fun

At 6'1 and 170, this kayak works well for me. I wouldn't imagine it being an issue at your size. It's pretty well made.

It's really not that much smaller than a normal board, only 3 inches shorter and not quite as wide. I don't think it would be a problem.

Yes it is worth the money to get the better seats. We have both the 3 seat and the 2 seat. I am 5'6 and my husband is about 5'9. We have gone together in the 3 sweater and he can stretch his legs out nicely. If you get the 2 seated you won't be able to stretch your legs much. The 2 is easier to go alone in but the 3 is not too bad to paddle alone. If you plan on going on excursions longer than a couple of hours I would suggest you get the longer one if their will always be 2 people.

I don't know the standards but I am also about 220lbs and would not use this paddle board. Its great for my girlfriend who is about 130lbs. For me, it requires to much effort to stay balanced. For that reason I ride a much larger (inflatable) board. If you want a one-board-fits-both then get one suited for the larger person. With paddle boards, its not about capacity, but rather, whether it is suited for a certain sized rider and their ability. An beginner rider that is 225lbs will need a larger (volume) board than an experienced rider of the same weight. I would say this board for a beginner will work for someone up to 150lbs. For intermediate; 175lbs. For experienced; maybe 200lbs. I don't know the standards but I am also about 220lbs and would not use this paddle board. Its great for my girlfriend who is about 130lbs.

No way, man. If you're just starting out and want a foamy, you're going to want a much longer board with better buoyancy:weight. They are expensive, so I suggest renting for a few days and get smart on the characteristics of the board, what length works for you, what's best for your wave conditions, etc.

You should be able to put one end of the paddle on the ground, and curl your fingertips over the other end at the second knuckle. This will likely be about a 200mm length. However, there are other considerations. It also depends on your kayak and the type of water your plan to kayak in. If your kayak has a wide, stable bottom, you might find the extra length of a 210mm more comfortable. If you plan on river kayaking, the shorter 200mm will be easier to maneuver around river obstacles. If you will only be in lakes, I would go with a 210mm, or even a 220mm. If you plan river kayaking, I think you will be happier with the 200mm. My wife is 5'3". Shis is a beginner, and really likes her 190mm, because we mostly river kayak. This model of paddle is not too expensive, so if you buy it and then don't like the length, you can buy another length and sell this one used on Amazon or some other site and will only be out about $30.

One that could get your skinny ass to some food!Size of the pintail board is pretty standard between two sizes. It's really what kind of riding do you want to do? YouTube has good reference material for choosing a board.

Too small for paddle boarding. You will need a bigger wider board for that!

I am 5'5" tall. I purchased a 220 cm paddle. Paddle performs well for me. If I were to buy another paddle, I would purchase a 230 cm.

Hey. So my sister and I have done tandem on this board. Together we weighed about 330 and it was hard to use the board(the balancing part was super hard). The board sunk deep in he water but it did not flow over the top of the board. I suggest getting a taller board closer to 12 feet that can handle more weight.

I think this would be a little too small. 0 Surfing experience and that weight around 9 feet or more board would be ideal to make paddling easier, catching the wave and stability standing easier.

My son is about 150 lbs...and the board hasn't cracked yet! So it would be a good first longboard for you. Have fun!

Hi, the Ozoboard is a great cross over board - you should get a 9'6 if you are going to do SUP and you can still use it as a surfboard as well. Regards Jean jean

Weight wise she's ok. I'm 185 and got on it for grins. My daughter is only 5yo and 43 inches. I think it's a great size for her. I think your daughter may find the foot board short and cramped. A bigger one may be more stable and she'll have some room to grow with it.

no, the board is poor quality, could be a paddle board for kids, it is only 6 feet, a paddle board are usually 9' foot up.
