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

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 a wonderful board for beginners and not that you couldn't surf with it but I think it would be a low performance board for riding waves.

you need a larger board at your weight .I forget how big they make the board , 44" would be the best , it will be quicker and still carry your weight.

I think it would work well for non beginners also. It really depends on what you would want for your board. You could probably change everything if you wanted to.

@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.

It is a very good starter board. It was my first board and i pretty much kept up with all my friends that boarded. the trucks and wheels arnt great but they work. If you think you are goin to get into boarding alot I would spend the extra money and get a better one but if you aren't sure if you will like boarding or not this board will do the trick.

I'm 165 lbs and it held my weight with very minimal flex, very well. The boards around this price range are always pretty stiff, which could be considered an advantage for heavier riders.

I bought one for my 10 year old. I am about your size, and don't think I would trust it. With the length of the board, it has a lot of flex to the board when I start to step on it. Note that my tendancy is to fall off the things, so I don't know how long it would actually hold up.

This is an all around board, good for most riders. While its meant to cover most riders, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone too big or too small (light) say less than 65 lbs or more than 220 lbs.

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.

My first board has a max weight of about 245lbs. However this board is extremely low and even with Risers on the trucks, it still scrapes the ground a lot. I would recommend a higher board with less flex for riding if weight is above 200lbs.

The board is probably best suited for 115-145 lb, cuz it's a very flexy board, but my friend who was 185 used it, so will I hold like 200 I'm sure, just don't stand in the middle, spread your weight, if you want a harder board I'd look into Canadian maple, mine has like no flex to it cuz I'm so light

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 weigh around 200 lbs. And get very little flex. It's a pretty solid board.

Yes it would be a great first board, my son said it turned great and was really easy to do tricks with.
