I have a fish 133, I'm 6' 190lbs. I found one cheap so I had to try it out. I rode it about 5 times at the end of last season. It's a fun board, I think I may ride it full time this upcoming season. I noticed it pops more from the back foot area than the middle, maybe just the way I was riding it. I found that it pops really well after loading up the line, but not so much when you get lazy with it. Personally, I felt it popped harder than my 04 premier, landed much softer and was just as easy to get out in the flats. I'm kind of nervous about how easy I'll be nose diving landings. I would say at your size, if you're looking for a full time board, go 137. Late april to early october season? Thats about the same as here in New Hampshire.
