Urgent: Sizing for Anthems?

[MrJesseHealy]

I'm gonna be ordering the Spiral Anthems when I get home in a few hours and am stuck on size. I'm 5'8" and weigh 140ish. 171's or 178's? I'm only gonna be skiing them in the park.

178

 

[MrJesseHealy]

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Due to the flex. 178 it is.

 

[SEABURN]

if you do lots of rails, get 171

if you hit kickers 40ft+ get 178

171 would be should fine

178 will be perfect for you with a true center mount. They might feel a little big on rails at first, but you will get use to them.

dude idk im 5'9 140lbs and am getting anthems too but i was thikning id go 171 shit

 

[MrJesseHealy]

I went with the 178s. As I jump more than I do rails, and I think I'll like the extra little bit of stability since they're so soft.

 

[yourthemannowdog]

hope you enjoy them. Always the rule is always! SIZE UP

I'm 5'8" 165 lbs and ride 178 invaders. Get the 78's and center mount them, you wont regret it for whatever you're gonna use them for.

Go 178, you'll be happy with it. They will be more usable all mountain while still slaying park. Small skis don't have the same "feel" as big skis: I'm 6'0, 185, and I went from using 171 Salomon 1080s as my everything ski to 185 Scratch BCs, and I love them. Its a good feel.

Sparknotes.

-Go 178

 

[feedbacker]

you already got the anthems elsewhere bape?

I guess I will take yours off hold..

I would say go for the 178's because the anthems are a pretty soft ski. If you're ever stuck between sizes its always safe to go longer. Plus they'll be more stable if you do some all mountain stuff
