Yes I think so, my daughter is only 12 but she is 5'6" and 135lbs, it works for her very well. She also had never tried snowboarding before. We haven't gone to any ski hills but it works very well on the slope in front of our house.

I wouldn't think so. I got mine for my 8 yr old. I think you need something bigger.

Definitely easy to ride. The board has a concave shape that allows your feet to be placed in a very balanced position. Generally speaking, I'd consider this to be a predictable board.

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.

It actually is an excellent board for the price. It is smooth and quick. I bought for a thirteen year boy on his birthday........broke his arm using it within a week. Good luck!

I got this for my 8 yr old..I'd say its great for a begining rider..it is pretty snappy as you turn up the govoner. Great for riding around on flat surface as it sits low to the ground..but I'm 130lbs and ripped it around..loved it..for more experienced rider I'd say its like having a minibike..might want a size bigger if taking him on any real trails.

I want very into yoyos but I got this just to start t go some tricks and i thought it was ok but i know if you want something really responsive you have to pay a lot for a good one but if you arnt into it for competition and for fun i would say this would be a good one. But if you want some more info you can ask or watch some youtube videos about it.(:

@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.

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!

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.

Depends on how much he uses it of course but I would say it will last several years if cared for. Of course if he uses it often, he'll need a more advanced board soon! You can always resell it to another person just starting out---they are hard to find used. This is what the surf camps at our NC beach use. It's been a great board for our 50 lb 9 year old daughter.

My son is 7 and can ride it easily but he has great balance. This board is quite narrow which makes it a great board for younger surfers who have trouble paddling out on wider boards that don't accomodate their arm reach. I think 140 lbs is pushing it for a beginner. I am a beginner and weigh 110 pounds and tried it and found it too wobbly. A 7-8 ft board would probably be more suitable. Look up the costco board for about $100, most popular low priced board in Cali.

The board will pick up speed quickly but requires a lot of pushing too. Depends on how many hills are on your route and how smooth the road is. Great board for the price, worth a shot..

I think so. We were very happy with the purchase of this board for our 7 year old son. It is big for him, but he wanted a full size skateboard. I think this would be great for an 11 year old.

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 a good board! My sister is 15 but the kids in the nieghborhood(ages ranging from 7-11) ride it also. Riding a board requires balance so i would recommend getting a helmet and pads if he can't get the hang of being on a board at first.

Hey! I would DEFINETLY reccomend this board if he wants to get into skateboarding. It is very stable and it is great for beginners. I hope he loves it! Best regards
