The model's body seems to fill the entire board. Will the board hold someone 220lbs comfortably? I don't want half her body hanging off of the sides.

I can tell you that I'm a big boy (5'9", 250lb) and it fits me comfortably. In fact I have never even considered this issue during my use. As for comfort, I choose to use it at the mid-range rather than fully inverted because of the stress it puts on my feet. 250lb is a lot to have pulling on your feet. However, I am sure that if/when I lose this extra weight I will probably be able to use it fully inverted without discomfort. And I do find it to be beneficial despite not using it fully inverted but of course each person's experience may be different. In my case I have 2 herniated discs which is why I use this apparatus. I hope this info helps you. I can tell you that I'm a big boy (5'9", 250lb) and it fits me comfortably. In fact I have never even considered this issue during my use.

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 think it would hold up just fine. If you were questioning it once you tried it, it would not take much to put in a board or other brace in the seating area to hold the weight.

I bought 2 as a gift for large people. My mother is 160 lbs and my dad is 220. They both have no prob. You really need to pump it up to keep your bum out of the water but they are really really great for what they are.

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 would say absolutely. My Mum is about 180 pounds and has no problem. She is shorter, but the legs are adjustable for a taller person.

Tammy,Thanks for the inquiry. The adult-sized ErgoErgo has been tested to support 250 pounds.

my daughter (17) is over 100lbs and it seems to be fine for her. We were on the beach and saw other kids that look heavier. I think this board accommodates most weights. My daughter thought it was not as easy as it looks to maneuver though.

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 :)

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.

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!

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.

I don't know. I have a female friend who weighs over 220 pounds and she was fine in it. But it is not super wide. Her thighs touched both arm supports. I am 6 foot tall and weigh about 155, and have plenty of room. Hope this helps.

I don't know for sure; but mine is full enough that weight alone will hold it in place. I have 2 side by side in a corner. The back board is flimsy. If I were in earthquake country, my answer would be different.

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.

Yes! I'm a 105lb girl and for the price it's pretty good. But if you want an actual "cruising" board, you might need to pick up some new gel/rubber wheels so you don't have to constantly kick every second and loosening the board is better for turns.
