Which paddleboard is right for me?
Use the below table as a rough guide when choosing your Samphire paddleboard size.
- If you're taller than average, looking to carry extra passengers or cargo, or would like a bit more stability in your board, feel free to move up to a bigger size
- If you're a competent paddler, and would like a more agile, nimble board - perhaps for surfing - feel free to drop a size.

Fit:
In environments with water your footwear should be a snug fit, rather than loose fitting. This is so that on slippery surfaces or uneven terrain your shoe moves with you, providing a better footing and grip. Our Water Shoes are designed with a snug fit, however if you are inbetween sizes we recommend that you size up.
