I weigh 150 and am forced to travel long distances for suitable SUP locations. Is this the right board for me?

Yes I would say this is perfect as it is very portable and right for your weight

Our 10'6" is perfect for traveling because it includes the board, a 2-piece adjustable SUP paddle, an inflation pump, repair kit and back pack. All you need to add is a life jacket. It is designed to accommodate 220 to 250 pounds when inflated to 10-12 PSI, well within the max inflation of 15 psi. I hope this helps.

If you can't have a hard style SUP then this is the next best thing. It travels well. Have taken it to Belize a few times. My wife and I have one each and we live on them when we travel. Now the reality. They are inflated so using reasonable deduction they can't be as rigid as a composite SUP. There is a little squish and flex to them. Max psi is 10 so for your 150lbs. it should be plenty. Make sure to inflate as soon as you get it and leave for a while to test the seams. Good luck.

Yes. This a great board for cruising. The length of the board means that you can go real far on each push. Upgrade to Bones Reds bearings, and you go even further. I've had mine for a year ( with Reds bearings) and I am really happy. Even good for some tricks such as cross stepping. You can pay a lot more for a complete longboard, but it's more than good enough for cruising.

It depends on whst you want to do on it. I weigh over 200. It will keep me up but not fully out of the water. I got it so I could take my kids out in it. We'll all put our upper bodies on it and kick out into the ocean. If am ever on it on my own my legs are hanging off.

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.

I bought mine as a somewhat "beginner," and it fit me well. One MAJOR drawback- it cracked down the middle while I was simply riding it one day. I weigh about 175 pounds, so I'd venture to say that the durability isn't very good. As far as riding, though, it's a good beginner board.

It really depends on how much weight you plan on using. I don't think I've gone much heavier than 150lbs, but it's a very solid piece of equipment, the padding is sturdy and doesn't spread too much either!

It'll hold you, but it will be a little more flexy than an advanced downhill rider would want. A flexy board is great to learn on, and great for cruising/carving, but once you start going fast (down billing or free riding) it can cause wobbles. My younger brother to this board, and it is very solid, but when I start going fast on it, it feels less stable than my land yachts evo downhill race board and my globe Geminon Freeride board. P.S. I weigh 140lbs.

I am a 6'4" tall and 225 lbs bodyboarder . That is what the board is made for . This is not a skim board . Use the right board for your purpose .

Yes! I'm a 105lb girl and for the price it's pretty good. But if you want an actual "cruising" board, you might need to pick up some new gel/rubber wheels so you don't have to constantly kick every second and loosening the board is better for turns.

I am 5' 4" and have a SUP that weighs 22 lbs. I am able to balance the SUP on my head, tilt one end higher and rest it on the rack while I walk backwards to get the rest of the board on the rack. I don't know if I would be able to do that with a board that weighs twice as much but you may be stronger and taller than I am. I prefer to load our two boards when the two of us can help with the process. It is possible alone.

No way, man. If you're just starting out and want a foamy, you're going to want a much longer board with better buoyancy:weight. They are expensive, so I suggest renting for a few days and get smart on the characteristics of the board, what length works for you, what's best for your wave conditions, etc.

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

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.

At 120 you should be ok. But you if like to ride on your knees or whats called drop knee ( thats front leg up back leg knee) a stiffer board is preferred. I suggest the mach 7-7 for this stance. Im am 230 and this board does not bend at all. Hope this helped. Board on!

I am 210 lbs and have no problem so I think it would be fine. It is a nice board.

I'd like to help you but I have yet to use this board. I too am around 200lbs and my old board was pretty much the same size and could carry me effortlessly. I have high hopes for this one. The bottom seems like it is quality plastic just thick enough to withstand abuse but thin enough to not be too heavy

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
