Long symmetrical park skis

are there any long (at least 183) park skis that are symetrical and above a 90mm waist besides the atomic patent?

Volkl Walls come in 185 and are symmetrical but they're only 87 underfoot, Moment Reno Jibs come in a 186, but also only 86 underfoot, the Moment Rockers of 92 underfoot, but only come in a 181, next years K2 Domain is 90 underfoot, it comes in a 179, but K2 usually measure their skis on the longer side, so a 179 might be closer to a 183. Tough one man.

symmetrical skis over 90mm at the waist are rare, let alone 180cm+.... Atomic Patent is one of your best bets. The Line Stepup for this coming year will be available in a 184cm but it's just under 90 at the waist.

Yeah dude I need them long too and been looking at the same thing. Patent is your best bet and that's what I'm getting if I can get a hookup.
Walls are short, they measure about 180. K2s come out long so Domains would be a maybe. If you can go a little narrower then Ace Of Spades and Stepups would work, or Schillers but those had huge tips & tails last year that took a lot of running length off. Nordica Zeros are 104 waist and symmetrical, someone was rocking them at Freestyle.ch or some other city big air last year so they work.
If symmetrical isn't such a big deal then ARV and Cryptonites would work. Or Dynastar Spins (my park ski last year) are 87 waist and 185 but run long because of low profile tip & tail. Punishers maybe (191) but they have a shitload of sidecut and early rise tip. Or (longshot) the original Scratch BC 188 from 04/05 or earlier, I'd love a pair of those now for park.
