i have been riding a 137 for about a week now and like it but was wondering if a 142 would be better and get me more pop. I am 6' 190# i just started riding again after 10 years and the boards ar way different from the old eric perez i learned on. I ride mainly behind a bassboat with a big pylon and a malibu I am looking into a mastercraft any help would be great.

i dont know about the size. You seem to be right on the border line between 137 and 142, i would go for the 142.

hey there mate,
I am currently riding a 137 and about 5'11 and 160. i would go with the 137 b/c as it is it feels big on me and as long as you get up on a 137 you be much comfutable manuvering a slightly smaller board, though depending on the board your looking at you can get them in different sizes between 137 and 142

Get the bigger board. I'm 6' and was 190 when I was riding a ton. I have the 142 and have ridden the 137. The 142 is better for someone your height/weight and it's simple physics. The 137 will work, but the 142 will push more water and keep you higher.

I currently run a 142 Byerly. I am 5-11 and 185 and it is perfect for me. I had a 137 and I was not as impressed with it. Felt too small.

Good luck dude- our season in WI is all done.
