The shorter board will buck a little bit harder and will land a good bit harder. It will spin faster and flip a bit faster. I'm 5'10, about 160-170 lbs, and I'm pretty happy on the Byerly 142, because I need the softer landings for my tired old knees. I would prefer the better spinning of the shorter board, but I tried the 137 and it lands too hard for me. You should demo., and I'm guessing you will notice a difference.
