Answer 1

I'm about 150 lbs., and use a 39" Cartel Imp.  I also use a 40" elemenope.  With me, I like the board really tight and compact, it makes it easier to drop in and cut.  Basically, if you have enough space for your fin to rest on when you mount, you should be alright.  And honestly, you can drop knee on any bodyboard.  It will probably just take some time to get a feel for it.  Being a 5 year vet., you should pick it up pretty quick.  GOOD LUCK.

And Cartel is based out of CA, so you should be able to find a ready supply.  The dealers will probably just suggest a thicker board.
