6' is fine and I am 200 lbs and works. This slant board compact, good for small room but is not adjustable or collapsible. I didn't received what the picture shown.

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.

Sure, whatever works for you. Complete inversion can be uncomfortable, especially at first. If you can eventually become accustomed to it, it probably is more effective but........whatever works best for you.

Wow , I should have such problems!!! Ha! I am 5'3" so I am probably not the right person to give you advice, however, I believe the board is 6'? So with that in mind it should be okay for you? I love the board because I'm in an apartment that is carpeted, trying to be stable on carpet was a challenge, this board makes working out doable, plus it's easy to store. I hope someone w/more height gives you answers that I can't . Until then I hope this is some help. Namaste

it's really hard to say....my best recommendation would be to try to use one in a store or something. this is one of those things that you gotta try it to see if it works for you. i can't really say it's helping me too much, but my issue might be different than yours...also, you can set it not to go fully upside down, so you can do a low angle inversion if that works better for you...bottom line, make sure this is the product for you before you spend $300 - $400 on it...hope this helped !!

Yes it does, depending of course on how tall you are! If you are extremely tall over 6'2 then you would have trouble completely inverting, because you would hit head on floor. Other than that it is well made and very solid!

Hi Jan, if you are looking for a device specifically for ab work, this won't be good for you. This inversion table is more important if you are looking to stretch your spine. Mostly designed for releif in back pains. Hope this would answer your question.Amos

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.

Yes you can go completely upside down if you take the stop bar off. Not a problem at all, I have been doing it daily for months. However, the manufacturer doesn't mention this in their paperwork. Just ensure secure and tight hold on your ankles for safety. When fully inverting, your back will come off the board several inches. This is great because it allows you to hang there and grab the frame and pull yourself and strectch in different directions to get the most of your inversion. With full inversion I have found I feel much better when I stretch in every possible direction as compared to just hanging there. To return to upright position on this table simply put one hand behind headrest pulling board back to your body. Using the other hand grab frame in front of you and began turning yourself over. Once you reach the point you can grab handrails, grab each and finish flipping yourself back upright (slowly to prevent headrush). A little practice and it's easy....And yes, table will adjust to your height.

I use it for my 10ft long board no issues. It would just suck on a very windy day like 10kt or more. I also use it with my 6ft and hall ass to the beach. It a good set up

Hey. So my sister and I have done tandem on this board. Together we weighed about 330 and it was hard to use the board(the balancing part was super hard). The board sunk deep in he water but it did not flow over the top of the board. I suggest getting a taller board closer to 12 feet that can handle more weight.

There is an adjustable belt under the body plate which we kept moving until our head stayed on the table as it was inverted. Also have you tried moving the height pin located on the side of the body plate? I know what you mean because my son is tall and his head hangs over the top when he is inverted. He tried to adjust it but had no luck. When he readjusted to almost 6 ft he could invert at all. Sorry, that's all I have. Good Luck!

I've use my inversion machine at least 3-5 times per week and I've own it for approx. 1 year, I've never felt endangered. Getting the right settings for your size is important, now I must say you need to read the instruction and be sure your within the weight limit of the device. My wife has back problems and she hangs at about a 40 deg angle and it really helps her with her back issues.

I thought she meant for the inversion table. No idea for this. I think the screws might come out on somebody big. Unless you have already gotten into inversion. I recommend beginning with inversion table. Getting upside down on this on your own can be pain and very awkward if you have not used to being upside down.

Hi, the Ozoboard is a great cross over board - you should get a 9'6 if you are going to do SUP and you can still use it as a surfboard as well. Regards Jeanjean

I am on the shorter side, 5'4", however this assist DOES work if you bend your knees also. The point is to lift your body weight and legs bent or not doesn't change that. We started using a chair for assisted pull ups in our doorway, but this perfect pull up is so much better. Better range and control and you can see your improvements (or not!).

Not so good. My boyfriend is 6'1",195lbs and within in 2 weeks of riding, the board began to give way and seem to split. It being so cheat we dint think about a refund.. He retired it to our 2yr old niece. Goodluck!
