just bought the new 06 fujative's and got the 159... but i have the option of switching out sizes if i want. im 5'4" 110-115lbs. the 159's come upto the middle of my forehead and the 169's are a tad longer than flush with the tip of my head... what should i do?? is there any rule to sizing with twin tips...like the rule snowboarding has of the board coming upto your nose...hmmmm??

i'm just a little bit shorter and a little bit heavier than you and i'd advise you move up to the 169. i used elizabeths for my park ski this year and they're a 172. short skis are fun, but the more i progress the more i appreciate the extra stability longer skis give you on landing big jumps.




my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

ya get the bigger size especially if you are growing. it really doesnt affect you that much but it will be more stable.

yea i bought some chronic mini's last season and i rode em like 1 night and i ended up crackin em in half on the nose... lol the funny thing is i bought em for cheap and i didnt feel like listenin to the size limit ...so once i destroyed em i called line and they sent me some 169 free of charge. oh yea im 6' 4" a little over the size limit of the mini. haha

If your parents are tall like mine (my dad's 6'8") then go for a bigger one
