I'm about your size (only a little heavier) and I get a lot of grief from my crew for riding the 134 Watson (they all ride the 138), but I've ridden the bigger boards all the way up to 142 and this one seems comfortable to me. I would probably prefer it be a 136 but btw the 134 & 138, I like the 134. I also think most boards are getting proportionally wider anyway, so the standard size charts could probably be adjusted a little to show "acceptable" lengths getting shorter. I say it's all personal preference...if you feel you're getting short-changed by the shorter board, jump up a size. All I know is that I've seen some of my crew do some sick shizz on my board so I know it's more than capable!
