Im 5'9'' and I recently purchased a pair of 174 rossignol s4 jibs. They are about as tall as me. IS that too big? I mainly ski rails and it seems that rossignol sizing is alot bigger then line sizing cause i had 177 lines and they went up to my nose.

So after these 180+ responses, why don't companies like line (longest park ski is 177 i think) clue in?

184 doesnt cut it when you are 6 foot 5 inches and 260 lbs.
