I'm 6'0' and I ski on some 169 1080's. They are a little too smal for me. I need something more around 174-77.

The tip shouldn't be lower than your chin.

now let's all say it together Personnal Preference!!

I raced on 160's for two years, just because i liked the feel of them. I also raced on 193's because i liked the feel of them. It's all about how you ski the boards.

I think Yeti said it the best.

Were all different people from different places, with different opinions.

I'm 6'1' and I ride the 181 mad trix.

I think you'd like those a lot.

But yeah, it really is about preference.

What do you ski on now?
