I have a 2003 parks 143 right now that i dont really like at all, but i got it new for 99 $ so i bought it. I was looking at the 2005 murray and im not sure what size to get. I feal like the board is to big for me to control sometimes and was not sure if a smaller board would help that any. But with my height and weight will that even be an option to get a smaller size? What will be the pros and cons of going a little smaller. Thanks for any input folks.

I think a 136 would be good, just demo a couple of boards, you'll know when it feels right

I am 5'10 and 130lb and ride the 2005 Murry 138.1 and love it. Very consistant and forgiving board. IF you use a wide stance with this board you should have no problem.

I would go 142. I'm also about 6'2" and seem to have more control on a longer board. You're even taller, might help you having a little extra length as far as overall control etc goes.
