To pick between a 133 and a 141

I'm buying a 2004 LF Subjekt and I'm starting to wonder if I made the right decision on ordering the 133.

I weigh 170 and a bunch of my friends weigh about 140-150, and the 133 is suggested at Weight range: 80 lbs. to 170 lbs.

The 141 is suggested at Weight range: 150 lbs. and up. The thing that kind of got me thinking is which gives more pop and greater speed, along with easiness of landing? Also, I'm from VA and we ride on teh Chesapeake so it's rarely pure glass, so I was wondering if the longer board would make landings easier and would be a smoother ride if there was some slight ripples in the water.... Now, I'd probably go with the 137, but they didn't have it available.

Any suggestions would be great... Thanks!

go with the 141. or the 137 if you can order that size instead. you wont be able to ride the 133 all that well.

I'm 145 lbs and have a 135 - CWB Prodigy that is perfect for me.

My buddy tries to ride it -- he weighs 180 -- and although he likes it -- it's too small for him -- you should probably be on something 139-141

I ride a 138 and I am 5'10'' 135lbs. I love it. I ride on the hudson so we just dont get glass. Like ever. I think a smaller board would ride better in slight chop but the 138 just feels right for me.

I'm 5'6" and 140lb. I ride a 134, and it's a little shorter than I like. It was either than or a 141 for me, which is a little on the big side. I'd comfortably ride a 136-138.

Advantage is my board is light and easier to spin, though. I just have to be a little more consious on weight position and not burying that nose.

im 5'10' and 140, i ride a 138, and i think its perfect for me, but its all just personal prefrence, just how you want your board to ride, IMO it would be much easier to ride the 141, especially if you are a beginner

i'm like 160 lbs and i ride a 141 premier. i think the 133 might be kind of small...

6-1, 200 and i ride a 137 and love it; before that i had a 135 ... its whatever you feel more comfortable with.

IMO, don't buy boards based on the other people that will be using YOUR board; buy it because you like it.
