a 133 might be too small in a couple years, go with a 138

Hype's are good bindings, but you can't beat liquid force in terms of comofort. As for the board size, I'd be looking for something more around 136-138.

It also depends on his height; tall people need a longer board than short people.

haha yeah I would go with a 136 ish depending on your height and age of course because if you're going to grow any more, then i would try to get some longevity out of the board, ya know.

You don't always have to "grow" to gain weight, boys. I gained 20-25 pounds when I went away to college. The only thing that "grew" was my waistline. Keep that in mind 18-22 years olds when you are buying a board for the next few years. You are one good party a week from "outgrowing" that board in 2-3 months.
