probably anywhere from a 128 to a 131, how much do you weigh? check out the board finder on www.Boardstop.com Its at the bottom of the page, enter in the info and it will give you some boards to check out/ go demo.

dragon88 is right. board size is going to depend on how much you weight. also, do you have any growing to do yet (i have no idea how old you are). if you do, getting the next size bigger wouldn't hurt because you'll get some extra years out of.

I would reccomend entering your info into the wakeworld.com board wizard, it should give you some info and an idea of which boards to go for.
