Im getting a 2010 Ronix Viva for christmas and I dont know if I should get the 136 or the 140. I'm 5'9" 155 lbs. right now.
The 136 says it goes up to 180 lbs and the 140 says its 160 and up so I'm kind of stuck in the middle.
Let me know what you think.

John, said it right. 140 would be best, but money talks and BS walks.

140. Bigger pop and softer landings.

i am 5'3" ......and a quarter ; ) and i used to ride a 140. i weigh 148. i switched to a 136 though but the board i am riding is a wide board to begin with. i would say if you want softer landings, go with the 140. but i feel like i spin faster on the 136. its all about personal preference. Shane Bonifay is 5'4 or 5'6 and rides a 138....

it also depends on how old you are/ are you going to grow. My friend bought a 132 when he was 20 and within a year and some he was up to like 175. He is still a relatively small dude, but a 132 is waay too small now

yeah I'm 20. I plan on putting on some weight but I dont think i'll be over 180 any time soon cause I'm only 150 right now. Ideally I wanna get around 160-165 and try to stay around there
