K2 PE 05/06 versus my height

I'm 6'3 (193 cm) and interested in buying the Public Enemy 05/06 model wich is 179 cm long. This means that I'm 14 cm taller than the skies. So they reach me up to my nose.
Is this too short for me or will it work?

your 6'3 the 179 is gonna be small for you...depending on HOW you ski will determine how well it will work
if your a laid back park skier who does not "push it" while skiing a 179 should be fine...
if you ski at mach 3 and rally high spped runs and attack the park and the mountain like 6'3 tall monster, the 179 is grossely undersized...
I ski the 179 pe - I am 5'11 and they are times way to small, but do ok most of the time - I normally ski a 189 on pow days and a 188 all mountain ski

to bad no companies make park skis over 180 really, considering a decent amount of people are over 6 feet. More importantly is how much u wiegh and allot of peopl way over 180

if you are looking for a park ski still with the specs similar to the PE, try the Line Chronic Wide....comes in a 187 which would suit you much better

Weight is more important than height. But a 185 would be more what you should be after. ARV?
