The size is perfect for a beginner!!! I am 5'8 170lbs. And I have plenty of foot room.

It is 9 1/2" wide, but, unless she is very small for her age, I don't think that she will really enjoy it, as it will be a very short ride. Maybe you should look for the next size if they have one. +JMJ+

I don't think there would be a problem. The lip is 1.5" h x 26" l. Overall length of the board is 28", overhanging if you will an inch on each side of the lip. With the size and weight of the board I don't see an issue.

Weight wise she's ok. I'm 185 and got on it for grins. My daughter is only 5yo and 43 inches. I think it's a great size for her. I think your daughter may find the foot board short and cramped. A bigger one may be more stable and she'll have some room to grow with it.

No, the board would be too small for him. I think is only five feet long. The obsidian website sells bigger boards but of course they're more expensive

This one is my first and only I love it. And you never really know what suits you until you try it out. Some people like long boards and some penny boards. But this is def a great board. I hope I answered your question.

??? Its the best big board outthere.I dont understand your question .It is like all boogie boards ,you should be more concerned about the shapeand size.

Yes. The board is very easy to read. It opens in its own window and you can make it full screen or minimize it. I think she would like this one.

Well it is more like a nickel board, given that it is 27 inches, which is longer than the standard 22-23 inches. I found this size more useful for my needs and my foot size but if you want the smaller size then go for that. I would recommend getting a decent set of bearings to switch out with, but besides that I love mine and I've almost had it for a year.

The board size is 9.6in x 11.6 check it out. My SWAG is that the 4x2gb will work.

I think so. If her fingers are shorter so that she'd need a narrower fingerboard, the Seagull Entourage Rustic would probably be a better fit, and is probably a little cheaper. My opinion is you can't go wrong with a Seagull!

I believe so- size and shape are the same as my neighbors across the stree who has a penny board. My daughter is very happy with it(12yrs old). Good quality.

I bought it for my 12 year old, she said the wheels were not very good. For a smaller child I think it would be fine because the wheels don't turn super fast. For an older, or heavier child, I would go with something with better wheels. The board itself is nice though.

I would go bigger, as a beginner the bigger the board the easier to get started. This board is light enough even at a larger size. I HAVE ridden this one though and I'm 5'8 150. So it will work. Bigger boards are more stable and make catching the waves WAY easier. Having said that for it's size this board has plenty of float and is stiff enough to support your size easily.

I have a small 8 yr old girl and it is good. She wanted to do tricks. And I knew her dad would be showing her so I tried to find something that would stand up to him and be small enough for her. If he is active, I would say yes.

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.
