Are 176 Punx the right size?

I’m 20 years old, 5’7” 140lbs, are they too big? That is all.

Probably not, they are fairly light and a little rockered so they should be totally manageable. 170s would also probably work for you though they may be a little short. I am a little bigger than you and I ride 178 RMUs in the park, I have no issues whippin them around.

I'm a bit smaller than you and rode 176 just fine. Personally I'd go with 170's but if I were taller I'd probably move up tot he 176.

Well i have the 169 recoils which I think in true length are 174’s so I think i’ll be fine with the 176 punx.

Do you do more rails or jumps. If your more into jumps and goin fast th 176 should be ok. If your more of a jibber the 170 will be better.

Jumps, I am focusing more on jumps this season. Though, I'll occasionally hit rails. Will they get caught up easily.

For slower jib stuff a longer ski will never be as good but for faster spins on and off rails they will be great an for jumps the 176 will be ideal. There are mid stiff so will help surport you on landings. For slower stuff they do have a little early rise to help reduce catching. You will love them though tey are such a good park ski.

I've recently bought the new Punx in 176 but they actually measure 174ish tip to tail.

Sounds about right to me. they might be a little taller than you but if you're gonna be mounting them at center you should be all set!
