1080 FOILs for Freeride & Park?

[Edugs]

Looknig to buy 174 FOILs for 60% Backcountry/ Freeride,30% park,10% piste (if I have to).

Tried Karmas and PEs but liked FOILS more all around. Any thoughts? Anything else worth looking into?

Also - 5'10" 165, 174 right length? (FOILs are pretty wide so was thinking maybe 166)

Thx.

i suppose the foils would work fine

 

[Edugs]

thx bro - 174s?

 

[dtn13]

174s will be good

 

[Elife]

i have the 174s and theyre pretty much swweeettt, and you should def go with that length

i just won next years foils 174 in a comp today!!!!!!!

 

[strode]

if i was using a ski for 60% backcountry i'd want it to be fatter than the foils. that's just me though.

luuuuuucky!

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

...wanna sell em?

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

and yes, the Foils will do anything you want them to, 174 is a good length

 

[PoleySkier]

nope

 

[Edugs]

that's sick - congrats.

thx for the feedback, grabbing 174s today.

yea go for 174 cause a 166 will be to short for your height .. unless you are a less advanced skier. but if youre a strong skier go for the 174

 

[jayamait]

yah thats just about the best ski you can get for that kind of riding, 174 = good. perfect.

 

[jayamait]

well it should hold up. but if you think 124/85/114 in a 174 may not work, then you never know.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

damn

 

[FUUUCK]

agreed, go with a 95ish waist instead

 

[SirFryanator]

chronic wide man go w/ taht

If you weigh 165 and will be skiing 60% pow I would definitely go longer than 174's and maybe fatter than foils. I weigh 160 and I ski on 185 ARV's most of the time and they are awesome in the park and out of bounds.

why not a gun instead of a foil?
