Can you stand on this board when you catch a wave? My son ways a about 140, will he be able to stand on it?

My son is 80lbs and that board feels like it can take really up to a 100lb max. It is narrow and would not be stable under a heavier load.

Yes, our son loves this surfboard and he can stand and ride the waves. He is much smaller, only age 7 and weighs around 50 lbs. I would check and see what the suggested weight limit is...but we are very happy with this board!

If he is an experienced surfer, yes. It is a smaller board and it may be difficult for a beginner. My daughter is about 130 lbs and she struggles a little because she is just learning how to surf.

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.

That is borderline. Probably yes. I am ~170 lbs (77kg) and I can surf it, but I am experienced. Although I can surf it, it is too small for me and not a lot of fun. It also depends on where she plans on surfing it. I would put the practical limit at around 54 kg (120 lbs).

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

I don't think you can manage to do any kind of "surfing" with this massive board. This board is at its best when learning to sup in easy waters. Also this board is for bigger people, say 300 lbs. I would not choose to go at sea with this board.

Yes, it would be too big. I rode this board and I'm 170 pounds. Here's a site that lets you build a board for your kid: http://www.skatexs.com/It's definitely a much pricier option. If nothing else, this might give you an idea of what you should be looking for.

My husband is 6 foot tall. He struggles with getting his feet on the board when he lays down to do some of the exercises. It seems like the board is too short, or he isn't flexible enough to fit well. He uses it and likes it, though, despite that small challenge.

Hi Amanda, my daughter is 5'2 and 105lbs. This board will be sufficient for you. Keep in mind that, the bigger board you have, makes it easier to learn how to catch a wave and stand up. Good luck I hope this helps.

Thanks so much for the inquiry! At his height and weight, a board in the 137cm range will be ideal, give or take a couple cms either way. That K2 Mini Turbo board is a 120cm so it will be a bit small for him. Have a great day!

My daughter, who weighed about 115 pounds last summer, was able to ride on it without it sinking. I know that she lay down on her stomach on the board, but I'm not sure if she tried to ride it on her knees. We are very happy with the product and think that it is well made. We ended up buying two of them. I hope this helps.

Hi Maryann, I bought this board for my 13 year old daughter and she doesn't have a problem with it. The board is well balanced. It also, has a hand grip in the center that makes it easy to carry. With regard to the length it will benefit you on the water and because of the balancing and grips it's not difficult to move around.

The board itself if 40 pounds and is 8 foot long. The weight limit is 140 #'s on this particular board.

It is a little tricky, I weigh 165# and rode it just prove I could to my 125# daughter who said that couldn't, how ever my 180 # son sunk 1st one end and then the other to every ones amusement but his. I have never ridden a larger SUP, but at 165# I think I'll be able to paddle it all I want to., hope this helps.Lewis Kennedy

This is a four Ply board and pretty flexible and I am at 6'1 165..personally I think that 190 pounds and above, would be pushing the boards max weight. Muirskates' website says that the 5 ply is recommended for the 200lb. and over/ crowd. Check out Muirskates for further guidance. That being said, the board rides like a Sidewalk Cadillac and it is just about as long at 43.5 inches.

I would suggest the 7 foot board. Or even longer if your son is growing. Also depends on wave size--larger waves say over 4 feet --may want a bigger board.

Edit: My friend is 220 and he rides without a problem. This is a great board, I got it for him a year ago for his birthday and it's still in perfect shape.
