I want to buy this for my boyfriend since he has bad knees, is this board good for someone who is about 6 feet tall and over 300 pounds? Thanks!

Not this particular board because of its size. I am only five feet tall, so it manages my range across. I do think there are longer ones available and that would be what you want.

Yes it would work great for him. Its very easy on the knees but should probably be used with knee braces at first until he gets used to the motion. It works great! Hard at first, but it's worth it if he sticks with it.

Nikki, I am 5'9 long legs and I returned the board as I thought the board was NOT long enough for me. My stride/glide was not long enough for the endurance I was looking for. For me...I need 7 or 8 ft board. I hope this helps.

No, the board would be too small for him. I think is only five feet long. The obsidian website sells bigger boards but of course they're more expensive

Hi Nikki. I think this option for your boyfriend would be great. I know there are people in my class that have bad knees, and they are able to slide easily on this board. It takes just a little getting used to and then you really get the hang of it. If his knees bother him, he can just slide to his comfort level and not push it (meaning go faster). I think the motion of bending and pushing off will actually help strengthen the muscles in and around his knees, and make them stronger. I hope that helps.

Hi, I'm in my late fifties, 5'6 and about 120. I can carry this just fine. Only issue is the length, which is awkward for me. It's a fun board, and very stable, not very quick to maneuver, ok for our twisty slow river.

I'm 225 and it floats me pretty good. It is not as stable as a fixed board but it is pretty stable. I've had a friend that was about 250 use it and he thought it didn't float him very well.

I do not know exactly but I weight 150 pounds and it is just fine. The board is solid so I feel it can easily support a weight of of 185-200. the height I think is more important and I would not be comfortable with a height in excess of 6 feet. Good luck!

I weigh about 215, and it really isn't big enough for me. I would guess yes at 120, but all my riders are 150+so I cant say for sure. Overall I have been happy with the purchase. Nice board for a nice price

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

Hi. I am not 100% sure but I believe it is 250 My husband is 6'2 and board performed well for him. I hope this helps.

Hello, sorry I just got your message now. still to answer your question, it is a smaller board than normal, but it shouldn't be a problem for you to ride it. My son is 22 and he rides his sisters board no problem. He weighs over 200 pounds.

I sincerely doubt it; I am 6 feet tall, 210 pounds, and it barely fits for me. Much smaller than I had thought it would be. It's solid, but I just don't think 300 pounds would fit comfortably (unless it's all in your shoulders, in which case you don't need tom lift any more weights, right?).

I am 5'6 with good knees. If you have bad knees it is not ideal. But I love mine

My husband is 230 and he was fine on it. I would not recommend both of you at the same time though. Good board. Love it!

No the boards are good but for smaller people I bought them for my boys they are 12 and 8 and weigh 75 to 80lbs. I tried I

I'm about six foot tall and I have some extra bed room above my head. I think what I would do is go to the Teeter's web site and if the specs aren't there send them an email and ask. I'm sure they are more than happy to answer any questions. Now the weight, yes, these are rated for 300 pounds. They are officially a medical rated device. Any of the cheap ones you can buy will work for a person that weights 90 to 150 pounds but they are really flimsey made. Hope this helps.

I have had the board for the past 6 months and have loved it as my first long board and still continue to enjoy it. I haven't had that much weight on it yet but I'm @200lbs and have no issue at all. Board is not super stiff so it has a little flex to it which I like personally. Cheers!

I'm 6 foot 2 inches and about 290. It rides smooth for me. I haven't owned it for a long time, however, I think if I don't bounce up and down on it and act like a ding dong it should hold up. The biggest challenge for tall people would be the cross bar. If you don't time it right and bring the bar back down first before you move forward your knees won't clear. Not a big deal. Just have to maintain your form.

For his height it will work fine, a friend of mine who is 6'1 has had no troubles with it, however, if he plans on lifting much heavier than 300ish pounds I wouldn't suggest it as it starts to become unstable.

my daughter (17) is over 100lbs and it seems to be fine for her. We were on the beach and saw other kids that look heavier. I think this board accommodates most weights. My daughter thought it was not as easy as it looks to maneuver though.
