Been riding Gambler's For a while now and just keep pulling the tracks so not interested in them any more.
Not really interested in cab custom either (to slow & soft for me)
Tona pop would be good but 138cm is to big.
So what else is out there?

Pop do a smaller board also. What about the axis bootleg?
The Bootleg is 138. Have been riding Gambler as well, alongside the Bootleg. Have you tried the Airush Livewire? I was about to try. But then got injured. Might be an option.
I rode the 132cm Livewire last summer, really enjoy the board and goes well with boots.
I got the 2015 135cm now, ill see how it goes but looks sweet!
Try a demo if you can..

I thaught a 138 pop would be too big also. Im 60 kg and its perfect.Select to expand quotedafunk said...
I ride the pop 138 and am 65kg . Its good n tough.
Any of you guy compare the 133cm to the 138cm?
Im 68 kg and 138 cm will be fine for kicker tricks but I think it'll be a ball ache for me to load up in the chop I ride in.
Liquid Force element would be an option if you're set on riding a smaller board specifically for load and pop -it's a bit flatter than a pop
Personally at your weight I think your logic for riding a smaller board is flawed..
I havent ridden the 133 pop, but ridding the 138 doesnt feel cumbersome at all being 70kgs and 5'10" probably because there isnt much width in the tips, my 136 straps board had really square tips and felt bigger. Never had any trouble loading in small short chop or big rolling stuff.

Shameless plug
I ride the flow 140 with boots and I'm only 70kg. Used to ride 130 with straps. You don't feel the size on the flows and pops. The only time I notice is when my landings are softer. Z

Owen 3 of them.
Shaped 2 of them and pulled the other all with in the span of 18 months.
Picked up a 133cm pop today so I'll give that a quick go (now that I've got it is looking small) and c what's up. If that doesn't work out It'll be a 136cm flow

133 will definetly be too small.
I Ride a 138 pop and a 140 flow. Befor these boards I was using a 132 and these boards doing feel much bigger. Heavy yes but also still manageable, especially with boots
