Hi guys me wondering bout the recoil again. Just wondering if the ski is true to size, because I am looking at some 174s but I want them to fit right and not be 4-5cm taller then me

174 recoils are a good size if you WANT a ski in that size.

they're about a half cm taller than 178 line chronics and much taller than 173 atomic punx

IMO you would benefit the most from a 164 K2 Recoil..HMU i got a pair of recoils if you want them for cheap

If i were him i would definitely go with 169. But that's just me especially if he's going to grow a little bit more.

Okay so correct me if im wrong, what im seeing is, is that the recoils arent true to size? If this is right, how many cm would the 169cm k2 recoil actually be

164=rail game strong
169=stable jump ski but more of a chance of clipping rails with ski
you honestly cant go wrong with either ski also like Rybak said if youre growing get the 169
