BR, from my experience with the 2 shapes, the 135 MJ is a little slower but with better pop. More of a "load and release" board. Rides great with just the molded fins (recommended) and has very little swing weight since it is rather short. The Ricky G/Mary Jane 136 is a more well-rounded board as Maverick stated. Faster design with less natural pop but the landings are easier to handle. Also would recommend this board to be ridden with only the molded fins. For a beginner/novice female rider I would say go for the 136 MJ. Tell her to use her edges and ride with only the molded fins. This is a board she should never grow tired of riding. Hope this helps.
