Can it be used to ride light or medium surf?

Perfect for any type of ocean surf due to the thickness of board. VERY stable.

Unfortunately I can't really answer that as we use them on a small pond that is flat as glass most days. I've done some wave riding in OBX on others and just my gut opinion is that any surf over 3ft could be hard to stay on. The big plus with sit on the top kayak is the safety from the fact that you can't get stuck upside down like a sit inside kayak. Hope this helps.

Yes you can but its harder to steer then a regular surf or paddle board because its weight. Pretty much if you can ride any wave that you could ride on a longboard.

I only use this in the lake but it is so stable that I would not hesitate to try it on light to med surf. It handles waves from boats going by just great. This was a fabulous purchase for me.

We have glassy to choppy out here, and on a choppy day it stayed stable even though I was just on my second try. Got tired and had to sit ( I'm definitely getting the seat! ) and paddle in. As I get more proficient I have no doubts about it being a solid stable and fun ride in less than smooth conditions. Though it is harder to turn..

I used mine to cruise around and hills so I suppose it would be good for commuting. Keep in mind it's a bigger board that you'd have to lug around. Speed is okay but I upgraded the bearings in mine so it was faster.

Not OK yo use as a light surf rod, this is more of a Medium freshwater rod. I would not throw more than 1/2 oz lure.

Probably. If you are being towed or using any kind of rope I'd recommend. If you are sail surfing, not sure. Have fun!

Yes, you can play it at outside with light wind(not over grade 3) because its power is weak.

I ve done it with shortboards and it was fineI don t know about longboards though.I try to avoid using the freeway, but reasonably, I think I should be fine

You may be able to do that on a clear calm day. If there are wave and/or wind, this little boat could have problems. It would be hard to row against a current or into the wind. I recommend lakes, slow rivers and streams and maybe ocean bays or shielded coves. Good luck. You should have plenty of fun. By the way, all these precautions apply to any of the small lightweight inflatable boats.

Well, I am not sure. It's pretty light and thin. However, if it is filled with water, it could be fine. Hope it helps.

Not likely. This was very heavy and I returned it because I was afraid of being hit in the head with this very heavy paddle in bigger waves.

No. I've put a wavestorm in one and that was pretty much its limit. There is a larger version that is made for longboards but that would probably still have trouble with a SUP

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 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.

Good question, but something you would have to check with the manufacturer about, I only use it at sea level.

I would say so. I holds at 100plus mph on my bike through rain. Check with go pro there are a lot of videos of surferS

My son is 7 and can ride it easily but he has great balance. This board is quite narrow which makes it a great board for younger surfers who have trouble paddling out on wider boards that don't accomodate their arm reach. I think 140 lbs is pushing it for a beginner. I am a beginner and weigh 110 pounds and tried it and found it too wobbly. A 7-8 ft board would probably be more suitable. Look up the costco board for about $100, most popular low priced board in Cali.

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).
