I bought a 34 inch wide 10’6” board and it’s super unstable when I stand up. My board rocks back and forth a ton and I can’t focus on paddling because I’m constantly wobbling and I’ll fall off about 10 or 15 seconds of it. I’ve seen a board that’s 45 inches wide and I’m wondering if I’m just too heavy and top heavy at 6’7” for a 34 inch board. I have decent balance in general, it’s surprising if I just have bad balance on a board. I can paddle fine on my knees, I don’t feel unsteady at all on my knees. My friend who’s 5’2” is perfectly balanced on her similar sized board and when I’m on my knees I’m about her height and balanced, but being on my knees is tiring so I’d like to figure out if I need more practice to stay standing or if I need a wider board
I’m 6’4” and 200 lbs. I paddle an 11’ board that is 35” wide. It feels very stable to me.
