Hi, I (98kg) sail the 137 with NP evo 9.5 / 8.6 / 7.8 in competition. Board is great with 9.5 (with 51cm or even 54 cm fin), and oke for me with 8.6. When wind is suitable for 7.8 I rather change to the 107 and 7.8.
My advice, as you already bought the 137: buy the 9.3 or better a 9.5 racesail.
best regards
