I think I'll buy some 4 FRNT TNK but I have a problem do you think the 180 will be too short for me?

I'm 6,2 high (188 cm) and will the ski only for park and pipe.

What do you think will it be too short?

Thx

It depends if you like longer skis or not. There aren't many park skis above like 185 cm though so you might be hard pressed to find a much longer ski.

^ Agreed. Volkl Walls come in a 185 and they might be a better choice if you like them a bit longer. 4frnt STLs come in a 183 but to be honest, 2.5 cm added to the tip and tail wont make much difference. The TNK is a pretty sick ski, has this wierd textured topsheet, seems durable, but the ski feels like its well made and the edges of the topsheet are kinda rounded so it won't chip as much as lots of skis. Relatively solid flex and fast base as well as not too wide should make it good in the pipe.

I love my 175 TNKs although I am not your height or weight. They are a solid ski with a fairly solid flex and i think they will work for you.
