is the length of the board directly related to the recommended rider weight? as a 190 lb rider am i looking at 140+ lengths?

I tip the scales aruond 225lb I ride a 139. <BR>It is all personal prefrence.

I think height is more a correlation than weight. Obviously, if you are 300+ pounds, you may need a bigger board, but I think if you are super tall (and weigh a lot), a bigger board will help. <BR> <BR>I'm 6'5 and weigh 235 and ride a 147.

I weigh around 175 and have a 136, but it all comes down to preference.
