I need some recommendations for new park skis. I live in the east coast and currently use a pair of Line Blends (2019) and am looking to buy a new pair for next season. I am 6'2ish closer to 6'3 and I find my 185 Blends to be fun, but a bit on the shorter side. I like the soft flex and wideness so I wouldn't want any ski less than 100 under foot. I've been having trouble finding wide park skis in 185 - 190mm in length so some recommendations would be great as I also enjoy skiing outside the park. These are the current skis I am looking at:

2024 Line Blend (185mm) - Alright in my opinion but I'd prefer a longer ski

Vishnu Wide (189mm) - Afraid the rocker might make the ski feel shorter than they actual are

Majesty Dirty Bear XL (186) - Same issue as blend, would prefer to be a bit longer

Volkl Revolt 104 (188)

Head Oblivion 102 (189)

open to any other recommendations
 
I mean I think a lot of what your feeling is the charactistics of the ski. Blends are noodles, so if you were to be on a stiffer/heavier ski at the same hight it probably wouldn't feel short. That won't change with some of those skis you listed like the Vishnu and Revolt. I don't know much about the Majesty so I'd probably say the Head Oblivion 102, Nordica Unleashed 108, ARV 106, or skis like those would be better.

On3p Jeffery would suit you well
 
Im exact same height and I love my 191 Jeffs for harder charging and 189 Wide plus is perfect size for park.

im sure 189 prodigy 2 would be in your wheelhouse as well but have never rode a pair myself
