I'm 5'11 and 155 lbs.

Would a CWB Sol 134 be about the right size?

im thinking maybe a 136 or something. it seems like you would grow out of that board(if your still growing) and it would be better to get a bit bigger one.

I'm probably going to buy myself a new board next year, or the year after if I need to, but I was riding a CWB Slayer 137.

Wakebird, well you could kinda decide by how you loiked your last board. was it too big or did it feel too small? i dont know the sizes of the sol series but if the 137 felt right for you you might wnat to get the next size up which is probably around a 138-140. but if it felt too big the 134 for should be fine. board size is personal preference. we cant tell you what you will like.

I'm 16, and I thought my old board was too big. That's why I went down to the 134. It felt a little hard to control in the air. I want a board with more pop on the wake as well.
