you must be skinny so i'd say about a 3' wide one, but check with a sports store employee to be sure

Answer 4

You have to try them on for size.  Generally the shorter ones are harder to keep in a straight line, but will turn faster than the longer ones.  We have a 9 foot long one and a 16 foot long one.  the shorter one is easier to transport.
