Sadly, there is more to surfboard selection than height and weight.

dude did you ever consider that telling stuff like how much surfing experience you got, how fit you are, what kind of waves you intend to surf with that thing (spotwise) and how often and so on is necessary to answer that?

Since you didn't I suppose you're all new to the surfing world and you should therefore buy a 5'4 narrow and really thin shortboard until you progress onto the bigger boards.
