In all seriousness appreciate the response I wasn’t sure as I’m a bigger guy, so I could keep this weight on or even gain some this winter. Just not a very strong rider. Thanks again
 
simply due to the rocker you will want to go with the 189 wet especially if you want a soft ski. However, vishnu's do loose their shape over time so the little camber you have will be gone relatively soon considering your weight. So definitely consider the wet plus because it will hold its shape better and you could go down to the 184 if you are not hitting big jumps and are interested in more technical rail tricks. Even with it being stiffer your weight and rocker profile will make for easy butters if your in to that.
 
You pretty much described me and I ride 183 wides. Would size up to 189 for vibing around the hill fast but honestly like the 183 for maneuverability

Makes perfect sense. No big jumps in the slightest, I ride a ton of days each year but I do ride a small mountain out east so that would be perfect. Appreciate your input

That was my thought too as I start to daily these I may want the shorter ski for maneuverability. I say that too because I came off riding a shorter and fully cambered ski in the Armada T Halls, literally 9.5 years those things lasted me. Loved them. Maybe once I can, I’ll get a longer ski for more of a cruiser. Thanks for your input
 
For sure. I have longer skis that are mounted back for racing the homies from top to bottom. Nice to have options.

im about the same size as ya bud im 6´1, 180 and i got a pair of 183 wets and i love them its the best ski ive ever rode super light and playful but i have to say you should probably get 189 wets or the 183 plus i went from riding arv 86 to the wets and it is a completely different ski then any previous park ski and if you want a little more stiffness for a little more stability then get the plus but if you think your ready for the wets then get the 189 the rocker on them is crazy so the extra length will definitly help and im from the east coast as well and it is the perfect ski for here Hope i could help also you must smoke a dart or a j on the lift or your vishnu rights will be revoaked
