HI, I'm 5'2 and 105lbs, I was looking at the 7'6 board, would you recommend that size? I'm a novice rider.

Hi KY, Sorry for the late reply. Yes, 7'6 will be good for you if you are novice rider and you have just started surfing.

That will probably be a little too small for you. I'm 5' 8" and I rode the 53cm comfortably. You probably don't want to go any smaller than the 49cm at your height.

My friend is 180lbs and comfortably rides this board. I personally would not recommend someone who weighs much more than that to buy this board simply because it is very flexible and would be difficult to ride.

The bearings would do great for smallerer hills. But this board is a little stiffer when cruising around but you will get used to it after a couple days of riding. On smaller hills or any size hill this board does not give you speed wobbles which is amazing!!!

I think you'll be fine, it's not really a board to have both feet on and it's actually better for people with bigger feet :)

It is just right for me at 6'1", so may be a bit small for you. If you know a good bike shop ask them... Sorry I was long responding. We had a death in the family.

The board is alright for someone of that weight. I'm 210lbs and this was my first board. I recommend this for a beginner, some learning to skate.

At 6'1 and 170, this kayak works well for me. I wouldn't imagine it being an issue at your size. It's pretty well made.

I'm 5'6'' should I consider this bike? Also does anybody have any information on the Victory Vision road bike?

I am almost the same size and weight and i have enjoyed the pelican board paddle very much. I have never used a different one so I can't know how it is to ride on a smaller one. The size is ok for me

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 .

I'm 5' 6", I'm a solid intermediate and am in good shape. The 5' board works fine for me. However, a slide board is like working out with weights. After a while, your body gets acclimated to it and you want to go longer and heavier. In the beginning, I would do 2 minutes of slide, then rest 30 sec. After a couple of weeks, I can do 25 min. nonstop. I may return the 5' and get the 6' board. For someone who hasn't done any sliding, I think it's best to start with the 5' board first. Some people can get used to the lateral movement very quickly, while others find it difficult to master. As to what length to go with what height, my personal opinion is that for a person who's 5' 2" and under, the 7' & 8' board will be too long.

I don't think it would be too short, I'd possibly be a little concerned about the weight but the board has good flex. Consider buying other wheels too as these ride a little hard.Have fun!

You'd be better off with a slightly larger bag. I have a similar board and I had to send my 7'6" bag back bc I couldn't zip it closed

yes, but of course you will want to tighten the trucks or bring a wrench with you to adjust to your preference depending on the type of riding and speed, also of course wear proper protection... great board for the price, and looks good too..

Nikki, I am 5'9 long legs and I returned the board as I thought the board was NOT long enough for me. My stride/glide was not long enough for the endurance I was looking for. For me...I need 7 or 8 ft board. I hope this helps.
