132 is tiny. I am 6 foot 1 and I only weigh around 170 so I am not much heavier or bigger than you. I demoed a 136 and thought it felt tiny so I would stay away from anything below that. I would look at 139 and up. I ride a 142 Ronix One and think that it's perfect. However, before you choose anything demo some stuff or ride some of your friend's stuff if the option is there.

I am 6 foot and weigh 155. I currently ride a 135 and like it fine, but I would not go any smaller. Whenever I get a new board, I'll probably go to a 137 or so. It really depends on personal preference in how loose you like the board to be, etc etc. Good luck, and I would second the previous advice to demo if at all possible, not only for the sake of board length, but also for finding a board that fits your ride preferences too.

Are Ronix bindings so undersized that you need to drop down 2 shoe sizes?

DON'T buy a 132! You need 137 or larger.

In regards to the Ronix boot sizing, I have Ones, Reliks, and Cells. All are size 10, and I am a 10 shoe. The Reliks felt smaller than the other two.

The Cells are by far my favorite of the three...
