According to Kidd, the length of a board governs how it turns and how well the board will track (aka, go in a straight line). \u201cLonger boards will paddle straighter and glide better while shorter boards will be easier to turn,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Width: <\/strong>Most paddle boards range between 30 and 35 inches, though the common sweet spot is between 32 and 34 inches. \u201cWith is one of the major factors in the stability of the board,\u201d Kidd explains. \u201cIt also affects the overall speed of the board,\u201d he adds, noting that narrow boards are fast but not as stable, while wide boards are much more stable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thickness: <\/strong>It might not seem like thickness is a big deal, but it\u2019s worth considering because, when coupled with the volume, Kidd says board thickness will control how stiff the inflatable board will be and how much weight it can carry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volume: <\/strong>\u201cThe volume is measured by how much water it would displace if completely submerged,\u201d says Kidd. With that said, the volume gets a little tricky, and with an inflatable board, Kidd notes that it\u2019s basically about how much the board can carry. If you\u2019re concerned about how much weight a board can hold, most companies note the weight capacity, which is the same thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When shopping for an inflatable paddle board, Kidd says the four main things to consider are length, width, thickness, and volume. \u201cThese will dictate what style of the board it is, how it will paddle and track, how stable it will be, and whether it can carry you.\u201d Length: As far as length is concerned, &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[172,151,208],"class_list":["post-5233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lifestyle","tag-home-workout","tag-mental-fitness","tag-movement-cures"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5233\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
