One that could get your skinny ass to some food! Size of the pintail board is pretty standard between two sizes. It's really what kind of riding do you want to do? YouTube has good reference material for choosing a board.

This depends on the construction, length, width, and shape of the specific longboard. A bamboo or maple longboard will not be as strong as a longboard that is reinforced with carbon fiber or fiberglass layers. A shorter longboard will be less prone to breaking because it will be stiffer. Just research the materials, length, and shape to see approximately how strong a specific board is.

Yeah. I combined a 9'2" longboard in a travel bag, along with a 7'6" without a bag, on my Civic for 5 hours on the 5. No problem.

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.

My son is about 150 lbs...and the board hasn't cracked yet! So it would be a good first longboard for you. Have fun!

This board .. the Sea Eagle LongBoard is 4 inches thick. If you want a 6 inch thick board, go with the Sea Eagle NeedleNose. (Note: Some Amazon descriptions are not updated to reflect the 6 inch thickness on the NeedleNose listings, however all the NeedleNose SUP's we sell are 6 inch thick.)

My husband ordered this board for himself. He's 210lbs & when he stepped on the board, the board almost broke in half. He gave it to my brother which is 135lbs & you see the board bend a little but not too much. My husband wouldn't suggest this board for anybody over 150lbs. My husband has been longboarding for over 10 years. Hope this helps you with your decision on the board.

being 6' 4" the choice was easy. but here is the manual which includes a sizing guide:http://solutions.3m.com/3MContentRetrievalAPI/BlobServlet?lmd=1241455060000&locale;=en_US&assetType;=MMM_Image&assetId;=1180595739992&blobAttribute;=ImageFile

I'm 5'6 and 130lbs and I can jump on mine and bounce and it holds me quite well but when u get the board u should get new bearings cuz the ones on these suck also my board came uneven so only 2 wheels touch the ground but other then that it is a very nice longboard and worth the money

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.

My board is 9 foot 6 so it is not hard for that size. However, be sure that the nuts and bolts are very secure before trying it out. I had to use a mini hacksaw to cut some of the length of the bolt so that I could use a torque wrench to ensure tightness.

yes ive ridden boards at walmart down aisles before its pretty much the same. im about 135 lbs so u should be fine. its a very nice board i definitely recommend it.

Taller kids with great balance should be OK with this. 7' board would be ok if you have smaller waves, but with 4' or higher waves I would say this board would be fine.

I'm 5'11 and ride a 56 usually, but i like anything from a 54-58. I'd say, if you're 5'11, 58 is on the bigger side of perfect, if you're 6' 58 is perfect.

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

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.

So if you are looking to ride with an additional rider I would probably go with a little bigger model like the 11' Explorer or 12'6 Touring since it will give you more space and volume on the water. The 10' can it just depends on the experience level of the rider and the size of the people on the board. But for caution I would probably go with the 11' in this scenario.
