Skis too small?

[Misfitmonkey]

i am 5 foot 8 and will probably grow over this summer, i have 162 surface royales that are already 3-5 inches shorter then the top of my head, i only weigh 130 and can already flex them and wash out without much effort, should i keep an eye out for some new skis next year? I also have my tip held together by epoxy, 3 edge cracks, and folded the sidewall of one of the skis, My plan was to use them next year, but idk now, as they a ski instructor shorter then me that i have skied with for 5 years said to get new ones, he's 5 foot 6 and uses 177.

I would say it's probably time for some new skis. Something longer would serve you better especially if you're gonna grow more.

Yeah dude, at 5'8 and still growing, you could easily rock something in the 177-182 range.

If you really want Vishnu’s go 177 or even the new 172 model tbh.

I think the 183 will be too much especially going from a 162.

5’7-5’8 fits 183 wets perfectly
