135 is definitely too small. i think 137 should be the Absolute smallest you should go. closer to 140 would be preferable IMO
if you get a slingshot board i would suggest a 142 size. it would not be too big. the boards are so light (especially swing weight wise) that the 140's sizes are beneficial. i am 6ft 165lbs and ride 142 slingshot board.

i love the slingshot boards and won't go back to traditional foam cores again, but would YOU feel the same?
try to demo if you can. the amount of flex and the rocker type in boards are the most decisive characteristics for accentuating your riding style

I am about the same size as you. I ride a Slingshot response 142 and love it.

I have a 2009 142 Slingshot Recoil (boots too if needed PB Floyd) I'm looking to sell if you're interested... NEVER USED, pm me if interested.

My board or not slingshot is AWESOME, you'll seriously love their stuff, I rode the imperial for a little while for the pop and the slingshot is 10 times better.

Slingshot all the way

You need at least a 137 and a 140 would probably be perfect for you, but before you buy one you really need to analyze your riding style and them compare the boards and get the one that fits you. Personally I like a board to be the smallest it can to fit me because its easier to control and move around during tricks, i also like the continuous 3-stage rocker.
