I'm gonna get the 07 invaders for my birthday (my dad kind of told me) but i just don't want them to be too small after like one season. i ride 154's right now and im 5' 7''. will 161's be long enough for more than just one season?

yea 161 might be a little small but not really that small i think. if youre still growing then they probably would be good for one season or if you like your skis small then you can use them for longer

personal preference. don't let everyone hear convince you of getting really big skis if you aren't comfortable riding them. you would get used to them sooner or later but if you don't need them then don't get them. i personally think 161 is too small for you. but goin 180 or something like that would be way too big for you unless you plan on growing 5 or 6 inches within the year

I copped this year's foils .... and was unsure about length as well. I was previously using a pretty short ski ... 163 cm.

I went with a longer ski ... 174 cm...and am really happy about it.

The extra length was just in the tail anyways.
