I wouldn't say too short. Shorter. But doable for sure.

Magnus 102 comes in a 186cm tho for what it's worth and I would choose that ski over the wet as a 1 ski quiver anyday.

presonal experience on the 183 wet, 6'1", ~165lbs, it was way too short for me. I was treating them as an everyday ski though, they definitely performed in the park.

6’3 165ish and I have last years 186 magnus. Granted I kinda suck at park, the magnus is insanely fun and poppy and I totally recommend it. The flex is on the stiff side which helps bombs through chunder but definitely isn’t too stiff as long as you can still muscle the ski around. Edges are also super thick. When compared to the Vishnu I believe the Vishnu will be quite a bit softer and like others have said I’m not too sure 183 would be the best choice for your height
