I would say thats a little big, I'm 5'4(yeah, i know I'm short) about 130lbs and I ride a 134, but Gerry Nunn who is my size rides a 142 with the bindings ducked out on the last holes...its all just preference...I think an smaller board gives you more control but a bigger board will make landings softer...its whatever you prefer.

AndrewStrang, are you able to demo it close to home, then get the sale from the internet? If so, do that. Also alot of shops will match the internet prices so just ask them about it. Say "hey i could get this elsewhere but i'd rather give you the service." You'd be surprised what there willing to do.
