i have put countless hours behind our boat and I still suck. It's not how many hours you put behind a boat, it's how well you can handle a board. pro model boards aren't NOT for beginners, they just make learning a tad harder.

That pro model is actually very comfortable to ride. It is NOT a beginner board by any means, but it is still a blast to ride..

When I rode his, he had the Shwenne Pro Model (DoubleUp) hooked up with the Liquid Force Team Bindings. That had to be one of the most awsome setups I have ever riden..

For someone about your size, I'de go with a 137 or 138.. I have demo'ed tons of boards, and I am about your height/weight (5'9 175) and I find that one or two cm make the biggest changes... Give it a try one day.
