okay never look at the weight restrictions(excuse me i mean guidelines). ride what you like. basically smaller rides lower in the water, a little quicker and spins faster, bigger rides higher in the water and pops better. also length isnt the only thing factored into size of a board you need to look at mid width and tail width. and basically both boards are suggested from about 145- 180.

i agree with headless, its really just guidlines, demo the boards and get what you like. the weight really isnt a big deal
