The best way to choose your surfskate is by wheelbase, and in person! But many people cant just go to a local shop and try several boards to find the right size. So here is another option: based on your inseam. This is a good proxy in determining how far apart your feet will be in a typical stance.
Shop an inch larger for a more stable ride and an inch shorter for a more radical ride!

| Of course you can get any size surfskate and have a blast. But getting the "right size" for your first board can help you learn quicker. It's also a nice starting point for your quiver. Buying longer and shorter in the future is inevitable, as you will become addicted! | |||||||||
