Sorry Guys for re posting, i posted in "site discussion" before... I'm new

Hey Guy, i'm originally a skier and i crossed to the dark side (snowboarding) for a couple of year and now i am wanting to ski again but i have forgotten ski sizing. I'm around 5'8 and 65kg and im looking for a ski that can do everything, a quiver killer.

I've been looking at the K2 kung fujas, armada JJ and the Line Sir Francis Bacon probably around the 170cm mark. Thoughts?

Thanks
 
Swap the jj's with something like on3p Jeronimo. Jj's are more of a powder ski. Also, I would go longer than 170. Something like 176 would be perfect
 
I've got the option to buy the '10 K2 obSETHed with the 105mm waist (similar to the '13 kung fujas) in 169 from a friend... is that a little on the short side. I have heard that the K2's ski a little longer.

Cool... I have the option to buy the '10 K2 obSETHed with the 107mm waist (similar to the '13 kung fujas) from a friend. They are on the small side but i have heard tat K2 ski a little bit longer. Could i get away with it?
 
Maybe, but probably not. It depends - are you planning on skiing aggressively on them to any degree? Also, somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I believe those obSETHeds are pretty damn rockered, meaning they'll have less effective edge and ski shorter. If that's the case, certainly not.
 
go around 175 and yea on3p jeronimos have killer reviews, but ive heard that the kung fujas are reliable as well
