181 if you have to have Future Spins, even that will be a bit short

How do you not wash out after every landing?

I don't throw big enough hits I suppose.

To be fair I used to have 185's and hated them so shoretened drastically, will probably go up to 175-180 next if I progress any more, find my 171 thalls so fun for ripping about on though.

181 definitely. Honestly, I would get something even longer. I'm 6'2", riding 183 cm Chronics and I wouldn't want them any shorter.

OP, if youre spending all your time derping around in the park with limited groomer cruising the 181s will suit your needs nicely. That being said, if you have any desire to actually shred youre gunna want to look into a more all moumtain oriented park ski that is offered in a longer lengths. I dont know what your skiing situation is so idk if this helps.

No one has asked his weight? Why if he is a bean pe and weighs like 110. Then he would be fine if not better on the smaller size. Op how much do you weight, age, years skiing

If he wants to do furrture spins let him get the furrture spins in 181cm? They are a good jib ski for 6'4" looking to have fun on a slushy day jibbing endless lines hotdogging random lass's on the bunny hill. Hell he could even have full tilts on them aswell before anyone pulls his pass.

6'4 is kinda tall to be riding 181...
I'm 6'3 and ride a 184 soul rider in the park, and a 192 bentchetler for pow, wished both were longer. I understand some people enjoy riding a shorter ski for park, but understand that even if your future spins get center mounted you still wont have a lot of material underneath your feet.
