I was wondering what size board would be most comfortable and easy to use. I am 5'10", 165lbs, and have a more relaxed style of riding. I love surface tricks and some small sliders. I also like 180s and spin tricks. Also if anyone has a sick deal on a 04/05 board that would be the best size let me know. Thanks

| Im 6'0 170lb and ride the 138, it think its rides awesome and I dont think Id choose a difference board or size. Id recommend the 138 to you as well, but if your a spinner you may want to look into the 134. It will take alittle more power to cut and pop off the wake with a smaller size but there will be a tiny bit less to swing around. |

I am about the same size as you are and I ride the very same board..LOVE IT..you would probably be happy with the 138. it gives you pop up high so that the bit more swing weight is less relevant..and plus it is a pretty light board I think and so the swing weight is not that much. good luck finsing a bourd you want..or a good deal on one _________________ Keep Austin Weird |

| I'm 5'9 and 165 lbs (give or take 5 lbs on any given day) and I ride the 138 and I love it...I think the 134 might be a little too short and might ride a little less solid in rougher waters....notice that Shawn rides the 142 in pretty much all rough water conditions and the 138 in glassy conditions. I hope that helps! |

| I ride both the 142 and 138, great boards. You can't go wrong with either boards. Don't get the 134 way to small for your size. Also pair it up with some transits. |
