Lilian, It all depends on your riding style and experience level (my disclaimer). I think, judging by your measurements, that the 147 would sit about forehead+ high if you stood it on end in front of you. If you are a beginner, this would be a very ambitious board to begin with (think more board = more to control). The 139, on the other hand, probably is going to sit somewhere between chin and nose height. Weight considerations aside, and barring the fact that you could have gigantic feet, for someone who is more of a beginner/intermediate rider, who isn't looking to ride chest deep powder, I would think that the 139 would be the better choice. For someone who is more experienced, the case could be made for the bigger board, but i would suggest the 139 for now, as long as you aren't rocking size 12s.
