I'm around 135lbs and 5'7. Currently i'm riding a 142 CWB. I'm looking at the Hyperlite divine 134. Does this seem too small? What other hyperlite board would be ok? The 2004 hyperlite temet 138.1? Pls respond!

I would say any board 132-138 should be fine. Just try to analyze the way you ride and what you are looking for in a board. If you can, try and demo boards. Most good shops offer it and it will allow you to find the best board for you. I definately think the 142 is waaay too big for you though.

I've been considering getting my fiance a LF Diva or Obrien Vixen. I don't know squat about "womens" boards, but I figure there might be some reason behind being gender specific (then again, might just be marketing).
