Addicts and Addict pros at 181.

They need to bring back the Ostness Dragon for the tall people around.

4frnt STl comes in a 183, thats's all i really know of.
There were rumours of Moment making a 186 Reno Jib, may be worth asking a bigcheese on here.

surface watchlifes come in a 183, they arent exactly a pure park ski but they do the job well.

"a ski is what you use it for not what the manufacturer says it is for"

aka be willing to look for skis that are not just marketed as pure park skis.

off topic, but does anyone know the exact measurment of the seth? from tip to tail. if 189 hellbents are 194, im assuming 179 seths are 184.  what say you?

^ k2 measures longer, i'm not sure of the exact measurement

for the thread creator, look at the head mojo 90s in 193. not pure park skis but you can mount them far up and they're pretty stiff. i'm 6'3'' so i'm sort of in the same boat, gonna get dumonts though i think.
