Right surface ski size?

[SapperDaddy]

I ordered a pair of 170 Surface Double Times. Im 5'11 170lbs. Should i return them and go with 180?

 

[brov1]

my honest opinion: return them and get a different ski.

my opinion on the topic: yes go 180

yes, definatly get the 180, you will like them better in the long run.. (I am 6'1 150 and ski the 182 surface no time)

They are outta 180s now. Do surfaces mesure bigger or smaller then most skis? Compared to an armada, salomon, or ninthward (owned all 3). I know certain companies ski sizes differ.

I gave myself a few inches too im actually 68 inches aka 5'8 I suck at math and I weighted myself today and Im down 5 pounds since september (last time I weighted myself)

they measure pretty dead on. you probably should work on getting a bigger ski.
