Can I remove my fins on my paddle board?

The fins can be easily removed to transporting the paddle board, however they are used for navigation of the water so you should not try to paddle board without the fins attached.

How should I choose the size of my paddle board?

Paddle boards come in three sizes 10ft, 11ft and 12ft, the size is determined by the weight of the person and how many paddles there will be as well as how far the paddler wants to glide between paddles. Normally a person weighing less than 160lbs will choose the 10ft board and someone weighing over 160lbs would take the 11ft. If the paddler is heaver let's say 300lbs or they want to have more than one paddler they would take the 12ft board.

What does the paddle have an angle?

The elbow in a paddle provides a more powerful, effective stroke. When you're paddling, the elbow causes the paddle blade to align straight up and down as it comes alongside the paddleboard.

Which type of board should I get if I am just starting surfing?

I recommend renting instead of buying if you are just starting out. Surfboards can be expensive and you want to make sure that you are into the sport before you invest all that money. As a beginner, you should use a long board. This is because they are very buoyant, allow for very easy paddling and wave catching and they are generally easier to maneuver on the water. The only issue is that they are tough to maneuver on land because they are a full eight and a half feet long. The best boards for beginners are wide, thick and light.

Is it better to have a board with attached fins or ones that I can remove?

That depends on two factors. You have to determine if you want a different type of board for each different type of wave so that you can cater the board to the wave. Also, if you are travelling a lot to different surf destinations, I suggest getter a board with removable fins because it is less likely to get damages under the plane and you can store the extra fins in your luggage.
