I think its too small, but if you ride a 137 and like it, probably will not be a big difference if the board widths are the same. I am 180lbs and went from a 142 to a 135 absolute platinum board. I liked it and I could ride it fine but there were times when it sunk, mostly on landings so I returned for a larger board, I will not ride anything less than 140 anymore.

too small. agree with sandbagger, also if you rode a board that fits you, you wont worry about breaking through the wake and recieve the pop you want.

Agreed. I'm 190 lbs and ride a 143. I was surprised to see what you are riding at 220. I'd think a 145 would be the smallest you'd want.
