One that could get your skinny ass to some food! Size of the pintail board is pretty standard between two sizes. It's really what kind of riding do you want to do? YouTube has good reference material for choosing a board.

This depends on the construction, length, width, and shape of the specific longboard. A bamboo or maple longboard will not be as strong as a longboard that is reinforced with carbon fiber or fiberglass layers. A shorter longboard will be less prone to breaking because it will be stiffer. Just research the materials, length, and shape to see approximately how strong a specific board is.

I'd like to help you but I have yet to use this board. I too am around 200lbs and my old board was pretty much the same size and could carry me effortlessly. I have high hopes for this one. The bottom seems like it is quality plastic just thick enough to withstand abuse but thin enough to not be too heavy

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?

I am 5'5" tall. I purchased a 220 cm paddle. Paddle performs well for me. If I were to buy another paddle, I would purchase a 230 cm.

Peter, as long as the bag is intended for an 8 foot board, it should be okay. I would contact the guys at Curve, and ask them first, if you are feeling uncertain about this though. Contact the seller here on Amazon or Curve also has a web site. The company is run by surfers, not suits, so feel comfortable asking them real surfer questions! I own two of their bags and am happy with 'em both.

I am 5'11" and I bought the 220cm paddle. I have a sit on top Necky kayak and it works great for me, not too long or short. Hope this helps.

I don't know the standards but I am also about 220lbs and would not use this paddle board. Its great for my girlfriend who is about 130lbs. For me, it requires to much effort to stay balanced. For that reason I ride a much larger (inflatable) board. If you want a one-board-fits-both then get one suited for the larger person. With paddle boards, its not about capacity, but rather, whether it is suited for a certain sized rider and their ability. An beginner rider that is 225lbs will need a larger (volume) board than an experienced rider of the same weight. I would say this board for a beginner will work for someone up to 150lbs. For intermediate; 175lbs. For experienced; maybe 200lbs. I don't know the standards but I am also about 220lbs and would not use this paddle board. Its great for my girlfriend who is about 130lbs.

About 46", center to center. This board has a lot of flex to it because of it. If you weigh more than 185 lbs. this is not a good board for you.

Im 5'9 and 240lbs and my Large Short (LS) fits me like a glove. Im no expert, but I think a Medium Tall (MT) would be best suited for you. I would prolly suggest going to a board shop and trying on a few suits then ordering the one you want. Just be mindful that different manufacturers have different sizing specifications, but the Oneill Epic is such a hot seller, most shops have them in stock.

The 9'6" bag has a lot of extra room for my 9'6" board. It's only 2.75" thick and 23" wide, but I would guess you could go even shorter for a 9' board.

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!

At 6'1 and 170, this kayak works well for me. I wouldn't imagine it being an issue at your size. It's pretty well made.

I'm 5'5" AND 135 LBS. I HAVE A MEDIUM AND ITS PLENTY ROOMY. I'd order a small and that will be plenty big enough.

I'm 5'7", 135 pounds, and I got a size medium. So I think a medium should work

I am a 6'4" tall and 225 lbs bodyboarder . That is what the board is made for . This is not a skim board . Use the right board for your purpose .
