Hey,

Yeh I would go something like a 130x39 for your weight(or even 40 wide if you want more bottom end).

Enjoy,

its like a surf board: shape, rocker and width have as much to play as length.

If its a tru custom, they should recommend the length to you

My opininon? go 130. Im 70kgs and ride a 129 JL park. Frikkin wonderful.

I weigh around 66/68kg depending on how much food i've eaten and i've got a 130 which sometimes feels retardedly big but I've learnt to deal with it and its good now although I still feel sometimes I could do with a smaller board. I would say go around a 128ish but whatever you feel comfortable riding will be the best bet. Depending on what conditions you are riding in also with be a big influence on board size.

Light wind=big board
high wind=smaller board

131*40. Wide & long enough for the surf(on steep waves you can ride the wave,
Short enough to freestyle & pop, land tricks, but not so small to have trouble on lighter day's CB good choice. if you ride in mostly chop 131*38.5.
You may need to work it more in light wind.

I got a 130 Tempo last week. I weigh about 77kgs and it is plenty big enough for me, you could probably get away with something smaller. The board is truly awesome, you will be very, very happy with it.
