I need a light neo top for ocean kayaking and SUPin the ocean. How small does it run? I am 5'10" and 145.

Im 5'0 and 110lbs, I ordered 6 and it was too tight. Arms snug fit which is just right, but the body, feels its way too tight I cant move well. returning this and will order size 8 hopefully its d right size for me. Material quality is great!

Im 5'7" and 140. I thought they ran a little big ... I tried 8, 10, 12 and 14 and went with the 10.

It runs very small, at least two sizes, but you can exchange it if it doesn't fit.

I'm 5'5"/130 and bought a size 8. It fits great. Bought it for Caribbean snorkeling.
599917
I'm 5'3" and 115. I got size 8. Good in neck and arms but a tiny bit loose in body . If I went down a size I think the neck & arms would be too tight. It's only 1.5mm. Good for summer but if you get really cold, it may not be thick enough.

I am not sure what size you need, but I am 5'6" and 125 pounds and the small size fit me snugly. I was glad it was snug, because I did not want it to snag or catch while I was doing my race. Good luck :)

I would say no. I am 184 6'4 and it is a bit tight on me. plus the legs are a bit short for me. I use it to kayak and swim in the ocean and for that it is fine.

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.

I have 10' Aruba. I am 5'9", and 96" paddle fits perfectly for me as I am just a recreational user.If you plan sporting white waters, you may want a shorter one.

I would probably keep it. As long as you can fasten it. Its partially neoprene so should have a snug fit - otherwise it will rise up (literally float up) when you are in the water.

You may find a little difficulties to paddle if your arms are short. I am 5'10, In my opinion, oars should be a little longer. I bought a small trolling motor mounted in the back. It is very helpful when encounter with wave and wind.

I bought a 6-6x for my daughter who is around 45 lbs. If I were you, I'd buy a 4T, so there is some room to move (and grow). Unlike adult wet suits for scuba diving, you don't want this one super tight. Incidentally, my daughter is still a little cold in this wet suit, just because it's so cold outside. But she is much happier at swim class now!

At 6'5", it will be a tight fit. I am 6'3" and I tip the scales at 205 lbs. The kayak is a bit rolly polly for me but we bought two of these for the grand kids and they really like them. It may be more than your budget will allow, but you may want to consider a Jackson kayak. It seems as big as an ore carrier, but it has more than enought room for a cooler, a dog, etc.

Karen: I am very pleased with my Vapor 10. Most of all, I feel safe in it. Stable. Doesn't rock easily. Takes waves well. Large, comfortable cockpit. No cramped feel. roomy. My seat is not particularly comfortable, however, bought an inexpensive padded seat at TJMax, like one you would take to a football game. Did the trick! I don't think kayaks are the best boat for fishing, despite the advertising hype. Canoes are far better in my opinion. I fished from the Vapor 10 once. I.m glad I didn't catch anything. Don't know how I would manuever with a fish on the line. Overall, a very good recreational kayak which I recommend. Hope this helps. Allan Karen: I am very pleased with my Vapor 10.

I've got a Minn Kota 40lb. thrust on mine which has been adequate in an open water area so far. It might be nice to have a little more thrust but larger is heavier and uses more battery power. You really need to weigh out the positives and negatives and then apply that to the situations you will be boating in most of the time. There are other good answers here to help you with that.

Definitely a small. It will fit snug and support the upper torso. I wear mine fit water aerobics and feel comfortable.

I kayak in mine. Had to wear a couple times to work in the fit, but i really like it especially for the price. Just get right size,

I would get the next size up. We keep one on our 44 foot boat and it works great. I think the 4 oz too small.

The height of the small would be ok, but it may be a bit tight. I'd recommend the next size up for you.

I think this would be a little too small. 0 Surfing experience and that weight around 9 feet or more board would be ideal to make paddling easier, catching the wave and stability standing easier.

Not specifically. I'm only 5'3" and I think it comes down a little far to be comfortable for kayaking, but I guess it would also depend on your proportions. I would recommend buying one specific to kayaking for a little more comfort, but it wouldn't be out of the question.

My family and I really enjoy using it very much, but it is more for light recreational use vs. performance sport use. It definitely performs better for smaller people - bigger people can use it, but they sit lower in the water which impacts speed and manueverability, and they have a higher centers of gravity which impacts stability. I think it might be a combination of height and weight. I think the 140 lb (maybe 150 lb) weight limit is pretty accurate. As far a height, I think 5' 6" might be close to the limit thinking about leg length to fit in the foot holders.
