Line sizing

I'm looking to pick up a pair of blends but I'm really confused on the sizing. I'm 6'2" and ski the east so I don't want something over my head. The blends in 178 sound perfect but theyre actually the same legth of my dynastar 175's. Anyone know how big the 183's actually are? Also, It looks like the sizing for the prophet line is different too. Is a p90 in 179 really 179 or is it like the blend?

I'd go 183. I'm 6'3 and using 181 rossis and they are not over my head.

lines sizing is very sketchy to say the least. my anthems and my friends invaders are only about two cm shorter than his 178 ninthward rorys. we both have 171's.... but ive heard from others that they run short. best bet is to find a shop with em

I live in southern ny so finding a shop that carries line in tough. I might just take the plunge and pick up the 183s

I think before they were bought by K2 (is that right?) They measure the length of the ski on the surface. My 171 Anthems were about 176-8ish. I think there quite standard now though.

I am 6'3 and my 182 Bacons are only up to my mouth. The same length as my 178 Anthems.

my 181 suspects were the same lenght as my friends 178 anthems

The 178 anthems were true to lenght if you measure from tip to tip, not along the topsheet
