Yo, I am 5'11" and 155 lbs, and I am looking at a pair of 182 foils. They are a sweet deal, but i would think that I should use a smaller ski. For general all mountain (I have small park skis) do you think this size will work?

Thanks...

yo thanks for the help man..does everyone else agree?

--> Also, why the longer skis? They are simply harder to throw around? Is so they look stylier in the air (less like snow blades..haha) and for more stable landings?

id say about 178 at the smallest (youre the same height as me) and about 185 at the largest, for a park ski. if youre going allmtn, obviously go longer...
