Never heard that about a Marius but I know the Fish is built that way.

nope, never heard of that. i'm 5'9" and weigh 165lbs, and ride the 140.

The Marius is a Trevor Hanson board by O'Brien. You can go smaller but I don't think it's realy recomended. Same with the new Hyperlite Imperial.

SeaLyon, I'd take evasive maneuvers if I were you.

certain boards are built, like the Fish, with performance "full" and performance "fun" shapes.
These are designed so you can ride them shorter to decrease the swing weight and still get good pop characteristics of a larger board. Although it comes down to personal feel, you can ride it regular size and get even more pop, or ride a bit shorter and lower your swing wieght.

BASICALY there made wider to give you the same pop characteristics as a longer board w/ less swing weight

I have a Marius 140 and to be honest it doesnt really feel as big as you would think. I rode a CWB Sol 139 and a Motive 140 before I got my sweet baby! It is wider, yet it doesn't feel awkward or too long because of its width. I wouldn't mind the 134 since I like the white background on the top, but who gives a crap about aesthetics not to mention I'm 6'3". I looove my Mariucci!! Just don't get Deuce bindings....buy the Torq's! There cheaper, have a better fit, and the Hinge thing is gangsta!

It's not true because the board is really slow.

yeah it is a bit slower...just another reason to cut like a mutha! haha I think he should demo it. anyone seen the Platinum Marius '07?? my friends were at the PWT in Wisconsin about a month ago and they said they had one there! MMMM good!

it's "really slow" when just cruisin' out in the flats. once you put it on edge, it really goes!

i've been so busy w/ my "real" job and the chick flick, i haven't had time to ride as much as i'd like to. in fact, i haven't ridden in over a month! Evil or Very Mad

thanks for the input guys

ok heres another question...im 6`2" 180 lbs, right now i ride the 139 team and im lookin to get a new board....i can get a really good deal on a 05 marius 134 but im thinkin it might be to small for me. so my question is would it be in my favor to save up the extra cash and get a 140?

thanks
