Here are some general guidelines to help you choose the right size paddle board for your child:
8’6” – This is the most popular size for kids ages 5-10 years old. It’s the perfect size for them to learn and have a lot of fun with.
9’6” – This is a great size for kids ages 10-14 years old. It’s big enough for them to enjoy, but not so big that it’s unwieldy.
