I would definately recommend a bigger board. I'm 5'7" 150 & ride a 135. You should be on at least a 139, it's all preference though... I'd have got a different board. Like you heard the Parks is VERY aggressive & takes a skilled rider to control the explosive pop. A Premier would be better for you or perhaps the 3DS. I understand if Hyperlite is the only board available for you but... next time try to take a look at some other brands, there are a lot of great shapes from co's like CWB, LF, Gator etc. etc. Have fun with the new boat, you have gotta be stoked!! Congrats!!
