Im planning on buying some salomon foils and are wondering what size would be ideal for me? Im about 5,10-5,11 and weigh around 130-135 lbs, yea im a skinny bastard.. what size would you recomend? im thinking the 174's would be nice let me know if you need any other info.
 
get something closer to 180's 174 for ur height is too short. i rock a pair 0f 176 and im thinking bout going to a 180 next pair and im bot 5,7 to 5,8
 
I choose ski sise approx. equal to my height. But it is hard to rule big skis - so if you are not ski champion already, let them be a little shorter (5-10cm).

Good luck:)
 
Yea i'm not the greatist skier aye. I am actualy sorta getting back into it. The shorter skis just seem like they will be easier to move around, a little more agile. i want to get into the park and shorter skis sound like they will be easier to learn with. so what do you think 174 or 182. The shorter skis are also a bit lighter which i thought might help me out. tell me what you think. thanks
 
if u get them mounted true centre they wont seem so big. also after u get a bit better u will want the bigger ski
 
What exactly is the advantage of a bigger ski? more stability and faster? what other advantages are there? i thought with technology these days people were skiing shorter skis? 182 i spose is about my height so i guess that sounds right.
 
dude im 510 and a half and im skiing 169 pubs. everyone says yeah those are too short but idk i like them shorter than most people ride. just go with something u feel comfortable with
 
lol no it doesnt look funny people that i dont know on the internet say that it looks normal belive me if it looked like a blader id KILL myself
 
thanks for the info so far. I think i am going to go for the 174's unless anyone wants to talk me out of that please do. whats bad about going for the shorter ski or whats better about the bigger one? i need to make a decision real soon
 
trust me get the longer ski, if u are going to be skiing park on it and u mount it forward the ski looks and feels shorter than it actually is, my skis are abut 3cm taller than me and they feel like im riding 150s because i have them true center which gives me about 80 centimeters on each side.

im 5'9''(173cm) and my skis are 176
 
What exactly is the advantage of a bigger ski? Hmm.. what is the advantage of large powerful car? :)

Yea, center mounted skis feels much shorter than it actually is..

And one more thing.. Don't let other gay choose your skis. Only you may know what size is good for you. Need information? - ask:)
 
alrigh thanks. ill go with the bigger ski probably and i like the fact that you said whats the advantage of a bigger powerful car. that explained everything
 
Hey im like 5,7 120 im deciding between T-Halls for sick park or Assassins cuz they're sick in the park but the armadas are 160 and the lines are 167 whats the size i should be riding cuz i want to know. Peace out

HUCK IT OR FUCK IT
