Riding a board that's too short will be just as bad as riding one that's too long. A shorter board is definitely harder to handle in rough water, and you're more likely to get more pop from a bigger board, than a shorter one. A board that's too short is going to sink lower in the water and handle really badly, I'm not saying that a 130 would be too short for you, but 134 is probably a happy medium. Just be really sure, and try a 130 if possible before buying one. p.s. you'll see even less difference in 2cm than 2 inches! ;)
