it's the width that matters.

ok tokyo.... you need to get a pretty wide yet THICK board...like 10' is great...still, I have knee paddled on a 9'2 like 22" wide and 23/4 inch thick before and was fine...although I am smaller than you...so maybe that's why....that said...the bigger the better...thick and wide...way to go

no point geting a new board just to knee paddle my board is a 9'2 and i can knee paddle fine

my 9'2 is one of the crappiest designs ever. some local shaper made the width too thin. it gets too much drag. if i wanted that then i would ride a shortboard.
