Do you need to get the big stick to go with this board for standup paddling?

If you mean landpaddle, then it's a personal preference. You don't "need" one unless you like to use one.

Yes, you just need to put the board on the rack with the fin side facing away from wall. I currently have a longboard with an 8 in fin on the wall rack.

I would go bigger, as a beginner the bigger the board the easier to get started. This board is light enough even at a larger size. I HAVE ridden this one though and I'm 5'8 150. So it will work. Bigger boards are more stable and make catching the waves WAY easier. Having said that for it's size this board has plenty of float and is stiff enough to support your size easily.

Yes.... It's easy balance, wide, and good quality for a starter longboard. Best of all is the price.

You bet. Mine loves it and cries if left behind. I had my lazy 230lb husband and 70 lb lab on it last summer. I use a yoga mat although board is tough. I sit in low beach chair and use it as a kayak alot with the dog. She likes to walk around on it rather than sit still so stand up paddling is a balance exercise with her aboard!

You just get the board. So yes, you would have to supply all other materials. It is a great board.

I would say yes. I have two kayak seats in my back pack. I love the board. Havnt used my kayak since I bought it not much on the standing up though.

To tell you the truth, it's not really needed on this kayak. Its a very sturdy build. Try kayaking without it, you will be surprised.

Additional frame is not required.Frames are built in on the bow and the stern, only. Inflating the kayak, aligns both frame parts and it sturdies itself. Very stable and straight and i luv it.

No, spend the money and get a quality board. This board snapped inhalf while my daughter was riding down a hill. She ws not trying to do crazy stuff with the board as it is a long board used for cruising. The board broke all the way across the back screws.

One that could get your skinny ass to some food!Size of the pintail board is pretty standard between two sizes. It's really what kind of riding do you want to do? YouTube has good reference material for choosing a board.

I think that depends. Is balance something you need to work on as well? If so, I would get a bigger board to give you more space to practice.

Probably depends on your level of skill and the force of the water, but at 120 lbs, I think the board is big enough.

I don't have a paddleboard, but the stands are great. I would give it a try.

On a paddle board I would think this would be WAY too big. I have a Yukon and it pretty much takes up the whole top of my truck. Its very big and has worked out perfectly for the vacations.

you need a larger board at your weight .I forget how big they make the board , 44" would be the best , it will be quicker and still carry your weight.

I dont think it is too long but it is super heavy to carry and transport. I am very happy with the board. This year i have a plan to put a hanger on the back of our boat so we can take with on the lake. Good luck
