On my Apple Watch Series 6 I recorded a skateboarding workout and in just under 14 minutes it says I managed to burn 137 calories. Is this at all accurate or is there a third party app that could be more accurate? My avg bpm was only like 133, and I’m roughly 155lbs.

The Apple Watch uses an algorithm to estimate your calorie burn based on your age, weight, heart rate, and activity. But, it's only an estimate. Any other app would also be only an estimate. The Watch's algorithms are generally pretty good.
I would suggest that, whatever app you chose, you stick to the same one every time. None of them will be incredibly accurate but, at least they should be internally consistent.
