Paddle-board volume planner

Reviewed Skip to the planner

Paddlers matching SUP volume to rider weight. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: translate rider pounds into a sup volume class. Capacity, season, and packed size are the published facts that survive a weekend trip.

This page produces an explainable category or size so options can be compared without a product ranking. The calculator does not rank iRocker, BOTE, and REI Co-op. It produces an explainable class so iRocker All-Around 10'6", BOTE Breeze Aero 10.6 inflatable SUP, and REI Co-op inflatable SUP can be compared as examples of that class.

The working method is: Convert the inputs into a published planning class using the method on this page, then compare official product pages that match that class. Planning notes are grounded in Osprey. This page does not quote a price or rank a brand.

How to use this calculator

Paddlers matching SUP volume to rider weight. Translate rider pounds into a SUP volume class. If you can answer rider weight, this page can produce a class you can shop against.

What this page will not do

  1. Enter the planning inputs

    Match SUP volume by recording rider weight. Use real measurements or counts, not a rounded marketing number.

  2. Keep optional extras off until they are real

    This tool has no optional add-ons. If a number is uncertain, calculate a range and keep the more conservative class.

  3. Read the board class

    Calculate class and treat the headline as a class, not a product name. Matching examples below follow 270–320, All Around, 320+, and 220–270.

  4. Compare official pages, then verify

    Open the official page for each example in that class. Confirm current specifications, dimensions, and terms. Decision Lantern does not quote a live price or complete an install review.
