Currently riding a older hyperlite " has a picture of a hotrod with flames up and down the board " and no its not the mid 90's hotrod . it has a twin flat tip and two fins . lol can't find the name of it . but i'm looking for a fish but i can't decide on the 129 or 133 . I'm 160lbs at 6'4'' . the boat is a 19ft boston whaler rage .

At 6'4", I would imagine that you would need a bigger board than a 129 or 133. I would look in the vicinity of 140.

I rode the fish as my first board and i'm 5'7" and weighed 180 lbs. I would recommend getting the biggest size you can get in the fish.

i am 5'9 and 170 in weight , i ride a 133 and luv it , to me the longer boards seem to have too much swing weight for me.

damn at 6'4" and 160 you must be all bones. I am in ok shape and same height 230. I ride 140+ I did hop on my GF's 137 the other day just for the heck of it and it rode pretty good though.

but seriously charles....get a longer board if for nothing more than the wider stance....at 6'4" you need a good wide base.

I rode a 137 Fish last year and I am 6'4". It was a good fit, it depends on your skill level as to whether or not the Fish is a good fit. It has some great aspects and design features, but for some reason, I always slipped out when riding it switch. Granted, alot of that was technique, but otherwise I really loved the board. I haven't been on a 133, but the 137 board felt a little bigger than a 137 due to the width. Stance width was about right for me on this length also, but the board does have a relatively short nose/tail if you are riding all the way out and I almost dipped the front a few times due to this.
