I am trying to decide between the 11' and 12' boards. What's the big difference?
889157
There is only a 1'(12") difference in these two boards. Both the 11' Touring and the 12' Touring have D-rings all around the sides to attach additional gear as well as our removable seat to use the board as a stand up paddleboard or sit on it and paddle like a kayak. Both come with the 2-piece adjustable SUP paddle, inflation pump, back pack and repair kit.

The Wahoo 11' Touring has a weight capacity of 220 pounds. The larger Wahoo 12' Touring has a weight capacity of 320 pounds and consequently can carry more.

Having both, I'd go with the 12' if you are over 5'7" or if you are heavy at all. The smaller one is fun but the longer one comes with the straps on the front too. Great boards! We love them!

Your weight. My husband is 220# has the 12' and it's still a bit wobbly, but he's not very good at it yet.

Well it is more like a nickel board, given that it is 27 inches, which is longer than the standard 22-23 inches. I found this size more useful for my needs and my foot size but if you want the smaller size then go for that. I would recommend getting a decent set of bearings to switch out with, but besides that I love mine and I've almost had it for a year.

I have 11b and works fine but 11e probably would be quite tight. While looking for one I saw a style that had a "forked" lower portion. Would give more width flexibility. Hope this helps.

Hi there, Logic tells me that the 12" must be newer, as it was not offered when I purchased the 11.6", however,Unless it offers more features than mine, I'm very satisfied w/ it. Doris

Hello Laurence, In answer to your question, I don't have the 10 in" to compare them, but I have to believe the 12" can move more air. I have mine in the 15' by 24' living room and it's sufficient. It's not silent, but it is quiet. I should have bought the tower fan model so it could stand on the floor instead of on a table. Also, the tower fan comes with a remote.

Personally I would go with the 10" due to the carve angle of these trucks. Main reason is to avoid wheel bite with larger wheels, the extra width gives a bit more clearance.

The model 1100500 uses 2x12 lumber, and the 0700500 uses 2x8 lumber. I opted for the wider ramps since they can carry more weight. Also, I bought a 2x12x16' with as few knots as possible (especially on the 2" edge) and cut it into two equal lengths. 8' ramps work very well for loading onto my pick-up truck.

The board size is 9.6in x 11.6 check it out. My SWAG is that the 4x2gb will work.

11" fits comfortably, I don't have a Surface so I experimented with an old Asus EEE PC, slipped right in, 12" would probably be too snug especially in a case.

I believe the 12' only has 6 handles. If so I would go with the 20'...don't want kids fighting for handles!

I think the 16" would be fine. You don't want your computer sliding from end to end. I got the 18" for my son. His computer is 17".

I would go 11" not more. You want a little wiggle room to accomodate water.

I think either one would work.. if you use the 12" high one it will just extend a little further above the rails. won't really matter...

I am not sure if this board will be an exact fit for your needs, but I can tell you it for mine perfectly! Hardware is included! If the specifications say the holes are drilled 12" apart, I feel confident this board will suit your needs!

So if you are looking to ride with an additional rider I would probably go with a little bigger model like the 11' Explorer or 12'6 Touring since it will give you more space and volume on the water. The 10' can it just depends on the experience level of the rider and the size of the people on the board. But for caution I would probably go with the 11' in this scenario.

I would not as you would have the metal ramp to small and you would have the danger of misjudging if you were backing out over the uncovered 12 inch board.I have the 12 inch and I bought 1 ( 2 by 10 ft) piece of treated lumber from Home Depot and had them cut it in half with these 12 inch ramps its perfect.While backing out of the shed there is plenty of room without the fear of backing off the ramp.the extra width makes all the difference.and I saved by picking out the worst 2 BY 10 AND HD cut the price in half. Its still as sturdy and works perfect.Remember its not just 4 inches your gaining combined its 8 inches total. Much safer...But heavier of course I would not as you would have the metal ramp to small and you would have the danger of misjudging if you were backing out over the uncovered 12 inch board.I have the 12 inch and I bought 1 ( 2 by 10 ft) piece of treated lumber from Home Depot and had them cut it in half with these 12 inch ramps its perfect.While backing out of the shed there is plenty of room without the fear of backing off the ramp.the extra width makes all the difference.and I saved by picking out the worst 2 BY 10 AND HD cut the price in half.

You'll be fine. I'm 230 and this thing doesn't even dip when I stand on it. Definitely the right board for you. Might want to look into a bigger paddle, but that's something else entirely. The paddle that comes with the board will definitely get you started.
