How much do you weigh? It really depends on what sort of riding style you have and what you're looking for in a board, but 141 sounds about right. I'm 6'2" and I ride a 138-141.

You should be just fine on that size, although you could go a little smaller if you wanted. You shouldn't look at anything bigger than that. Which board is it, by the way?

i think a 137 is perfect for your size and weight. Good choice, obrien doesn't rip you off like some companies...
