I'm 6'3 I read the "select your length" thread and it seems they only make them in a 189? surely this can't be correct, especially for a ski thats soft and has rocker.

They come in 177, 183, and 189. The 189 is new to this year.

Dont know how true it is but I heard Vishnu is looking to expand their sizing all the way down to 146 cm!!! great news for new wave park rats who have children!! cant wait to see youngsters rocking JNCO’s and vintage polos with vishnus on their feet!!!! Maybe they’ll go even shorter? 135? 121??

you almost never see 190+ park-dedicated skis

if you're 6'3" then the 189 is a perfect size anyway. NS has lost its marbles on this one, vishnus are made how they are for a reason, to be surfy and loose and forgiving and swervy at the expense of stability and stomping power. they didn't make them soft and rockered just so people could size up and have decorative length on their skis. you're really looking for a 190+ ski to use on picnic tables and rails?

What size do you want ideally? Largest skis I have seen lately are 193ish and the difference between 193 and 189 are not that much...
