1stone = 14 lbs, so you're 10 stone

I think that 145 is a little big, as Lesley said. I'm 5'10", about 160 lbs, and ride a couple of boards... currently 139 and 141, but am quite comfortable on 137 & 138's. (I actually think the 141 is a little on the large side for my preference).

That said, it's a good choice of board & bindings.
