I have size 12 feet. Does anyone else have larger feet and have no problem riding this board? or is it a little hard?

you should get a nikle board then because it would be almost imposible riding it

if yours is 12 feet, you should get one of those nickle boards. they are like penny, just bigger. penny is 22", i think nickle is 27" (the size of the board)

My husband is 230 and he was fine on it. I would not recommend both of you at the same time though. Good board. Love it!

I'm 5'2" 125# this is an excellent board for me. I've only fallen once, and have used it for three eight mile float trips, and lots of shorter trips on the milder portions of the Colorado River (Parker Strip). It weighs 50# but after a month of using it, I can pick it up and carry it upstairs by myself. I am 61 years old. I'm guessing your wife will love it.

Im like 190 pounds(a big guy), and this deck still supporting my weight. So, its really a good board.

I weigh 120 and did fine. I don't know what the term 'floaty' refers to, but I found that I was able to steer well, found the board to be very stable, and I had fun! You can easily contact the manufacturer, who is very into customer service. I did just that and was assured that the board was ok for my small stature. Good luck!

Yes. The issue isn't so much the board, it's the bar you put your legs over. It's to short, I feel it needs to be longer to secure your legs properly.

Maybe. I am 195 lbs, but bought this for my 80 lb daughter. On her first day riding it, I did an Ollie to show off a little bit, and broke it from the rear truck back (the pointy end). Glue works wonders and we both still ride it, but I can feel it flex beneath me. If you're just cruising, it should be OK with some judicious foot placement. I bought some spruce and am making my own board, just in case. I hope this helps.

you need a larger board at your weight .I forget how big they make the board , 44" would be the best , it will be quicker and still carry your weight.

I've had friends who are way heavier ride it just fine. The only problem is the board looks like it's caving in, but obviously never breaks. Enjoy!

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

I like my 31" cruiser long board better. It's easier to ride no hang ups on anything

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.

board has small gritty strips to keep from slipping. I have never done the board without shoes on, but you could try!!

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.

I bought one for my 10 year old. I am about your size, and don't think I would trust it. With the length of the board, it has a lot of flex to the board when I start to step on it. Note that my tendancy is to fall off the things, so I don't know how long it would actually hold up.

Yes - I carry a 9ft board ok. The only thing you need to watch with such a long board is the large board acts like a sial and pushes the seat around - 9ft 4 may be a bit long?

My board is 9 foot 6 so it is not hard for that size. However, be sure that the nuts and bolts are very secure before trying it out. I had to use a mini hacksaw to cut some of the length of the bolt so that I could use a torque wrench to ensure tightness.
