What is the weight range of the people using the board?

the weight will be anywhere from 100-165 lbs.

The 4'9" will work well for this weight range.

what is the max weight for the 4'9" board

I weigh around 180 and learned to surf on this board. Maximum weight depends on the skills of the rider. Beginners usually need bigger boards when they start but they can surf smaller boards when they improve.
