 |
|
| Alright so Im 5'8 and weight 145 lbs. I've been riding a Belmont 128 for the past 6 years. It's time i get a new board. Should i go with a 132 or a 138? I love how i can throw the 128 around but I feel like i should widen my stance and be on a bigger board |

I guess if you feel OK with a 128, a 138 will be to large...
If Possible: Demo them and get what you like the most

I'm 5'8' 135 lbs. and I cannot control a 138 to save my life. The board will always ride so high in the water that I fall on my face when I edge out hard toeside. It's not that I spin arround or anything. I just edge and the board slides out behind me. I'd go with a 132.
