Hey so i got a pair of 179 kung fujas with marker griffon schizo bindings.  im 6 foot and 165lbs. i keep kicking myself cause i know k2 runs long and am wondering if i should have gone with the 169's instead.  im an intermediate to advanced skiier but just want some opinions if i should have gone with the 169's or if the 179's are better for my size and skill. thanks
+K for good help

I bought 169 k2 dissorderly's with marker griffon shizo bindings. I am 5' 10 and I definitely wish I had gone to a 176. In my opinion definitely go with the 176
