your second board you get will be a little more personalized then your first after youve riden for a while.. although,... i know someone who started on a hyperlite belmont 140 (which is now called the Hyperlite Motive), his boards started coming apart (dont let this scare you because the board was ridden every day for years... plus hyperlite has a lifetime warrantee)... he sent his board in and Hyperlite sent him back a free brand new Motive (again, the SAME shape as his old board) and now thats what he rides and continues to step it up... so id suggest that board... its made as a 134 and a 140... i dont know if your young and growing.. if you are, go 140... but if you happen to be older and done growing, id go with the 134... dont let any of that scare you, with your weight and height, you can ride either.. remeber the measurments are in centimeters.. and 6 of em isnt a big deal.. another thing i mite add is the 140 in my opinion is cooler looking.. its black, the 134 is red.. remeber though, theres ALOT of stuff out there that you can try... this isnt the only option... just an idea from what ive seen.. .and boots.. get something made by the same company that made the board, watevers comfy... good luck and welcome to wakeboarding... -curt-
