yea man definitely find out if u can get a size like 176-178, like i am 5'8 and 161 is way to small to me, well at least i feel they are, some people say otherwise, and dude if u wanna, just try em on and just see how they feel leaning back a leaning forward.

Like they said above, 171 to 181 will be good.

I am 5'10'', 130lbs and my 171 centermounted 9ninthwards feel pretty short now, however the 181's felt alot heavier and harder to ski going from 160's, so i went back to 171..
