Griffins should be fine at your weight unless you're very aggressive. Otherwise bump up further to a Jester.

Considering you're only 130 pounds, you could even consider the squires like you said. You definitely won't need jesters, those are for ultra aggressive, heavy, and large skiers.I'd probably go with squires, because of the price, but that's just me.

I rode about 10 full days on Jester Schizos last season, including pow and 20-30 kickers, and had no issues. Feels just like a regular Jester.

i have a pair of the Jesters and the Squires, you can defiantly tell the Jesters are more sturdy and heavy, the Squires feel quite lightweight and weak, when you clip into your bindings they "snap" into place, while when you clip in with the Jesters then clip in much smoother and dont have that "snap"

im 5'10 and 150 pounds, i have had no problems with either binding but defiantly am a bigger fan of the Jesters
