Great beginner surf board for small to moderate waves. Go to a 9'6" for your height though.

get the 2in.x30ft.it will be enough to do both boards with a little left over.

I have the medium size (38 year old male) and I think they would be too big for an 8-10 year old. My guess is there may be "kid" versions out there. Also, you want to make sure that you have good technique before using paddles. The paddles are meant to build strength. If you don't have good technique first, you risk injury and/or "strengthening" bad technique.

Thanks so much for the inquiry! At his height and weight, a board in the 137cm range will be ideal, give or take a couple cms either way. That K2 Mini Turbo board is a 120cm so it will be a bit small for him. Have a great day!

Hi Maryann, I bought this board for my 13 year old daughter and she doesn't have a problem with it. The board is well balanced. It also, has a hand grip in the center that makes it easy to carry. With regard to the length it will benefit you on the water and because of the balancing and grips it's not difficult to move around.

Probably the average size 8 year old. I would go any more that what ever that is.

It would be better to get a longer loggier board for a beginner that floats them better. Costco sells one in early summer that is about seven or eight foot. Those boards are great to teach a kid to surf on, though only the strongest kids will get that size board to duck dive.

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 Jean jean

I don't have it with me, but I believe it is 8'. And that "80" in the name usually means the length. Good kids board. Super durable.

The young lady that rides this board is about 130 lbs and 5'8" tall. She is a beginner and has done well. I would recommend that the rider take it to a board shop to get the trucks tuned up to fit their needs, this determines the speed, and control.

This is a really great board. It was my daughters first, and she loves it. The small size makes it easy for her to maneuver. Hope this helps

I use my kids scooter (like this one) and I am older than 40 ;)If you plan on doing tricks, or need a heavier duty scooter, look at the Shaun White Scooter, although the handlebars come at a lower fixed length.

I have 2 of the trikes and my 9 year old daughter loves them. I have another daugther that just turned 6, she is able to ride one but has some difficulty. I see no reason why your 8 your old, if he is bigger would have any problem.

They make the rockboard in 2 sizes. I own one of each size. I would recommend the smaller size for a 5 year old. The full size version is quite a bit taller and probably better for 8 and up.

Go with the 300! I believe it goes faster than the 200. I bought mine for my 8y/o and 11y/o boys. Glad I got the faster ones! I use them too - super fun!!
