I'm thinking about getting a board. It would be mainly for me and my sister, we both weigh about 7 stone. The thing is my dad also wants to use it and he's like... fat so we need a board that will support all our weights. My sister and dad are begginers and im begginer/intermediade. It would be are first board and we don't want to spend too much. What board do you recommend and wha should you look for in an easy board for beginners to progress on?

Go to a local shop if you can. I've been to england before but i dont know how much 7 stone is. Isnt that like 115.

You want a board with a continious rocker when you're still learning and anything around 140cm. My bro who is like 13stone, my lil bro who is like the same weight as you, all share the same board and they have no problems with it. Get the Double Up Soul Series coz its good, fairly cheap beginners board that'll suit you all. Gud luck mate

My local shop recommends the Hyperlite Motive or the LF Trip.

I would recommend the L/F substance over any other board out there. But if that is out of your price range then get a Hyperlite State board. It comes with Bindings and you pick one up cheap. Good to start out on and the board still has enough rocker to have fun with.
