Sup guys. I am having some problems with picking the right size for my next skis, which would be the Abang. 

Im 6", 132lbs (pretty damn light); should I go with the 172 or 177?
Any suggestions are welcome.

Peace

I would say 177, I feel like if you put some more weight on the 172 wouldn't be good enough.

177 for sure. 172 will feel like your wearing them backwards and they will be way soft.

Maybe take a look at the Traveling Circus ski, it's lighter than the Afterbang and it seems sick. Held one in my local shop yesterday and flexed it as well and it's sweet. Take my advice with a grain of salt, but that's my .02

Also, there is no 172cm Afterbang?
If I were you I would get the 178cm TC ski.

If you want a bomber jib ski: k2 domain. You can find last years pretty easy, and its got a full sidewall so it's better for jumps. Plus the rocket makes presses and butters too easy. But if you are heart set on the Afterbangs I'd go longer so its not to washy.
