ator,,
i dont have a problem with jobe boards,,i have a hyperlite and a obrien,,but if a jobe came along at a good price i would ride it,,to save you some money,,you should see if the shop owner has any used or last year modle boards that he would sell cheaper than a new board at your weight you would be good with a 137cm board or bigger,,but you would not be happy riding a 132cm board,, the 132cm or shorter just would not hold your weight for a good ride,,and shorter boards from my experience are a little more squirley (harder to keep steady) than the longer boards,,and some people even say the longer boards can give more pop,,137cm-143cm or anything in between would be good for your weight,,i would suggest finding you a board some where between 137cm and 143cm that has the most amount of rocker and is the widest board in the middle,,the most rocker and widest board will be a smooth steady tracking board with a good amount of pop,,
