I don't know what the best is.... but I bought two of the Freeride 130cm intermediate boards for my boys (11 and 13) last christmas just to use for fun in the backyard and I am very happy with them .... I didn't want to have much money tied up in an entry level board .... so these were a great buy for our family......

If he just wants to go down hills at the park this one works well, but I don't think it would be ok for a ski hill. You want one with a traditional binding for that.

Absolutely, this board is great for beginners. When I first received it, it was my first time riding a longboard. But with this board, I learned very quickly.

Could work ok for a beginner. Wouldn't take long for a 12 year old to learn the basics and be ready for some real power. I would save my money and get a used Japanese bike or possibly a 125 pit bike

Perfect for any age! My 14 year old daughter got her own long board for her birthday and she loves it. My 5 year old son also has one of his own and he does very well on it. My other 10 year old son is the same way so yes your daughter will love it!

Yes, I bought this for my 12 year old and it's very sturdy. I have also played around on it. It will last a long time.

I bought this exact board for my thirteen year old son, who weighs probably 135 lbs. The first day he road it the trucks broke off. The board is flimsy in the center and feel like it's going to snap in half. My 18 year old also has a penny board. We paid $115 for that one. It's an original penny board and well worth the money spent. Now my 18 year old weighs 165 pounds.

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.

I looked at all the boards, then decided on the Dritz Superboard. My wife says it is the best board she has ever used. The design, the printed lines, and its strength make the Superboard an exceptionally good value. She has used "serviceable" cheaper boards before, but she is very happy with the Superboard.

My son who is 10 received this for his birthday present. He loves it and says it is a great board. Older boys who have tried it say it is easy to learn on and low so fairly safe. We are happy with it.

With practice I would recommend it to anyone age 10 and up. Once you get the basics down it is easily rideable. The board is in fully operable condition with few scratch marked due to normal use.

It is good for beginners. My 13 year old uses it and his only experience on a board prior was a penny board. He rides it around the neighborhood a lot and it hasn't shown any signs of wear or cracking.

I'm 275 lbs & 6,3 and still have this board. It works great and is definitely a good starter board.

I have this board and love it. It's a great board for beginners. I'm an adult of average weight and this board hasn't broken, it's very well- built. The trucks need to be loosened a lot at first, but other than that it comes fully set up.

Having both, I'd go with the 12' if you are over 5'7" or if you are heavy at all. The smaller one is fun but the longer one comes with the straps on the front too. Great boards! We love them!

I purchased a light blue one last year for christmas gift. Great board with 30 year history. Great value. It also comes in red. Note, it is scaled down version. 1" shorter and 1/2" narrower than full size. Good luck.

I weigh 130 and it is easy to control. I actually highly recommend this board. It is the only board I've ever bought but it seems to work really great.

Well it depends on what you consider durable. Im 200 pounds and the board doesnt seem even close to breaking. 250 shouldnt be a problem. It will break like other longboards if you say smash it into a wall cuz you fall off and cant stop it. But as long as you take care of it. It'll be fine.
