I can't decide what board size to get, I want the natural 139 or 144. I weigh 195. I'm having a lot of trouble deciding which one will suit me better. any opinions would be appreciated

Try to hit one of the many "Demo-a-Board" tours that are about to start as the weather warms or check to see if any of the local shops will let you demo a board. Haven't you ever heard that "It's not the size that matters but how you work what you got?" In other words, don't limit the board because of the size.

yeah. I wish I could demo the board but unfortunately my local board shop doesn't sell obrien so I'd have to order it. I've never ridden a board as big as a 144, but road the shane 140 for awhile...
