What size would be right for a 160 lb. 5 7 person? Bigger and smaller people will be using it also. Also should i get griptape or foam top? thanks.

it's all preferance. i thought being 5'11 and 205 i would want a bigger board, but i like a 112, and my lil bro who's 5'8 160 like a 116. i defintely say grip top though.

pretty much any size will work but i say foam top it sounds like you are just using it out on your boat and letting everyone and anyone who wants to try it give it a go. so if this is the case they arent gonna have shoes with them but they could still ride the foam.

size is preference i like a smaller board, lf 41 concave, and im 160 and my bro rides it who is 100 it feels great and has more of a skateboard feel where the bigger boards feel bulky to me. but dude deffinately go with grip tape just tell your buds to bring shoes and dont wrry all that stuff about it hurting when you fall on it aint true a board hurts regardless foam or grip when you fall on it but that dont happen that often anyways
