I was 198lbs last year (6'2") rIiding a 141. Ive ridden a 143 and a 136 and so far 141 is the best for me. I am now 175lbs (I've been running alot..lol) and the 141 is still getting the job done, feels great. I think the quality of the board is probably holding you back more than the size, when I started I had a sh** board and was amazed at how much better a nice board rides. My suggestion would be go for something between 138 and 143 and you should be good to go. Alot of websites are selling the 2011 boards for 25% or more off right now, or see if you can score a leftover 2010 if your on a budget.
