I dont think theres an actual limit as long as you have enough momentum. I think its to do with your own body weight a 175lb man is unlikely going to be-able to paddle a 4ft board into surf. (not unless he was towed in or something).

yeah, it really depends on how tall and how much you weigh, and also your skill level

DK Bodyboard is the shortest thing I've heard of people riding standing up.
