Public enemy 159 too small?

Is this size ski too small for a 5'10'' guy who weights 70kg? my alternative is 1080 foil 174. I'm an intermediate skiier but only just getting into freestyle. cheers

The 159 PE is definitely too small!!! It's so small for you, that it's not even funny!
Definitely go for the 174 Foil!

thanks, thing is the foils are last season and they seem really wide at the front. is that because of their powder ability? cheers

Exactly! But they still carve pretty well due to their small radius (for a twin) which is 17.4m. The foils are best to be used by lighter people, 75 kg max.
I tried my 174 last year in powder and they rock! But then again, they rock pretty much everywhere, except on icy groomers, of course.

Waaaay too small. Go with the foils. Definately. Hell, you could go with a bigger size than a 174. I ride well great on 168s and I'm 5'5. But I prefer riding my friends 176 triplets.

no, im 5'3 and theyre like half a centimeter shorter than my height which is probably at the top of my forehead, a person 2 inches taller and a ski 1 cm longer would be around the top of the nose
