I'm 5'9'', and I'm on 183's... so I think you should go 180... yes. 180.

i sure wish i had to decide what length AR5 to get.

yeah I'm kinda leaning towards the 180 though. after comming off a 169 1080 It feels like iv'e been froot booting. any weight differences between the 2 and is it a heavy ski overall?

armada goes by weight, because of the flex. If you go into the shop, they measure you for weight instead of size, like a snowboard. So you prob will end up with a 176

yeah i know they go by weight thats why I listed my weight. I like a harder flex. but no shops around here carry aramda. I'm bringing them in through the bike shop I work at.

if you're that worried about it, get the 180s and compensate for the extra 4 CENTIMETRES by mounting forward a little.

rule of skiboarders, take size of penis, multiply it by 200, and you get the length in cms'.
