I am 14 yrs old my shoe size is 9 1/2 so I was wondering if this board would be the appropriate size for me to ride

This board didn't last my 13 year old 2 days. he snapped the trucks... My 18 year old has the same size board but the original brand and has had no problems. You get what you pay for I guess. My 13 year old changed the trucks and still rides it. It bends a lot in the center.

Hello, sorry I just got your message now. still to answer your question, it is a smaller board than normal, but it shouldn't be a problem for you to ride it. My son is 22 and he rides his sisters board no problem. He weighs over 200 pounds.

depends if you like to ride a small board or not. im in college and i see many guys riding these boards but its different for everyone.

I would not get this one it is a little flimsey for grown people..my daughter is also 14 And she out grew it fast.

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 :)

Sure - I'm a grown-up with a size 11 shoe and I can ride my daughter's skateboard. Sure, it's a little small but it's fun!

yes, but of course you will want to tighten the trucks or bring a wrench with you to adjust to your preference depending on the type of riding and speed, also of course wear proper protection... great board for the price, and looks good too..

My son is about 150 lbs...and the board hasn't cracked yet! So it would be a good first longboard for you. Have fun!

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

I feel like these Shimanos run a little small. I wear a size 14 sneaker and I found that size 47 and size 48 were too tight for me, length-wise. I ended up with a size 50, and it seems a bit too large.

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.

I weigh about 215, and it really isn't big enough for me. I would guess yes at 120, but all my riders are 150+so I cant say for sure. Overall I have been happy with the purchase. Nice board for a nice price

You'll be fine. I'm 230 and this thing doesn't even dip when I stand on it. Definitely the right board for you. Might want to look into a bigger paddle, but that's something else entirely. The paddle that comes with the board will definitely get you started.

I don't think it would be too short, I'd possibly be a little concerned about the weight but the board has good flex. Consider buying other wheels too as these ride a little hard.Have fun!

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.

With practice I would recommend it to anyone age 10 and up. Once you get the basics down it is easily rideable. The board is in fully operable condition with few scratch marked due to normal use.

This is a really great board. It was my daughters first, and she loves it. The small size makes it easy for her to maneuver. Hope this helps

My daughter is 13 and a little over five feet and it was perfect for her. My daughter weighs a little over 100. She loves the board. Hope this helps!

It's really not that much smaller than a normal board, only 3 inches shorter and not quite as wide. I don't think it would be a problem.

I'm 200 lbs and it's fine for me. I understand this board is a very good value for money. I got it as a starter board and I love it. If it was any smoother I think it would be difficult to learn on, any less smooth and it wouldn't be any fun to ride. I can only speak from my own limited experience but I can say I'm very happy with my purchase.

I'd say it's better for a younger rider. Less squirrely than smaller boards.

Yes great board. Have your son get some 1 1/2 inch hardware (nuts and bolts that hold the trucks to the board) I found they are the perfect size to keep me stable when cruising around. With a pare of 1/2 inch risers
