Can a 250 pound guy ride this board without breaking it?

That's a tough question. I'm 170 and can ride it, but it's on the smaller side because it was designed for a kid so I'd say you're probably better off looking for an adult board.

It is my sons board but when I (250+) got on it I felt comfortable it wasn't going to break

I weigh 176lb and the board has little to no flex when I stand on it. My 210lb friend has also said that it has little to no flex. This is a very stiff board.

At 180 lbs., I am fine on this board. I would imagine you can notch up another 10 to 15 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.

It's very sturdy and solid -- I'd say it shouldn't have problems with 250 lbs.

You'll be fine. I'm 230 and this thing doesn't even dip when I stand on it. Definitely the right board for you. Might want to look into a bigger paddle, but that's something else entirely. The paddle that comes with the board will definitely get you started.

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

no. I am 165 lbs and experienced (I bought this for my kids). I can ride it, but it isn't any fun. No way you could ride it.

Yes it will I'm 250. Very durable. Solid. I stand on it even. Doesn't move around.

I would say board is about 2 lbs. maybe. Not heavy at all to us. Able to hold a 250 lb. woman. I think it would meet your needs.

I do not know, however, this is a very sturdy backboard and support system. I agree with Eric. You might be able to break it if you tried hard enough like hanging on the rim or something like that, but I doubt you can hurt it with everyday normal/reasonable play.

It will handle 180 lbs no problem. The board is slightly convex (curved the whole length of the board) which gives it plenty of strength.

No. This is belt driven. I weigh 190 and have had to change the belts 2 x's. I would not recommend the board for anyone over 200lbsIts a great board just made for someone 150 or less

I own one and would estimate that it could happily handle 250lbs. It's pretty sturdy if put together correctly. Hope this helps!

Most tires of this size can handle up to 300 lbs. each, what the rest of the board can handle I would certainly question.

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.
