not enough info - key is how heavy you are, how heavy the folks in ur fam are, def how old you are so we know how much ur likely to grow.

then

are these skies just for a season or two or are they gunna have to last the next five.

then, are u planning to centre mount

then

how strong a park skier are you

then

what length were your foils and how comfortable were they to spin.

generally if ur growing, start with the longest ski u can, but more info would help.

yes, we need to know the history of weight in accordance to height in you family history dateintg back to atleast 1957, also if there's a history of heart problems or alergies to anesthesia. And then I could skip that grab a v8, plow your mother and just tell you mid 160 to mid 170.

I can tell you for size 165-175 would do you well. The softer the ski the longer you could probably get.
