Im about 165lbs, 6ft 2in. I ski about half park about half groomers and powder at Stowe. East coast. Im lookin at the karmas in 177, I feel the 185's would be too big (i ride chronic 177;s now and was lookin for something about 179) OR the foils in 182 but i think those might be a little long and wide for what im used to, and too flimsy for me. What yall think?

if ur lookin for a 179 then a 182 wont be bad its about a one inch difference. so no worried about the length. its a tough pick tho

foils are very flexy and I wouldn't recomend them for what you do, although some people like them. good luck finding Karmas, and if you do I'd go for the 185's.

Dude im 6 2 and 175 foils wold be sick theyre super light and they float well too as long as you dont mount them dead center. id pick them over the karmas just cuz theyre lighter but the 182 wont be to long for the foils and i doubt the 185 would be too long fo the karmas, theyll come up to like just above ur head.

i have 185 karmas and they are amazing. definitely stiff and kinda heavy but not bad. perfect for wat you are doing. i dont have the ones from this year but i do have the ones from last year. witht the tannish top that is textured. ill sell em to you for the right price if you want em. no shots or anything. perfect edges. never been on a box or rail.

foils are sick. don't be worried about them being flimsy just because dummies on here piss on the foam core.
All times are Eastern (-4)
