Race

The paddle board competition is divided into two categories: the short distance competition length is 12'6'' and below, the long distance competition length is 14', and the average width: width 24''-27''

Surf

Paddle boards come in various shapes and sizes to suit the ability and weight of the surfer. The smaller the surfboard, the more flexible the surfing, but the more unstable it is, so it is more difficult for beginners. In order to make it easier to catch the waves, many experienced ronin started surfing with paddleboards, especially when the waves were weak and it was difficult to catch the waves with the surfboard. By standing on the board, you can also better feel the impending collapse point, so you can choose the best wave.

The average length of a typical surfboard is 7'-10'5' and the average width is 27''-32''.
