-DanThats dope you are considering supporting core brands.
As far as HG goes, I have had the 178 Stinger and am currently on the 182 El.
I'm 6'3 180 and not the most aggressive skier. The 178 stinger was amazing for me in the park hitting rails. I don't hit many jumps so I can't speak to how they are with that, but I imagine they can handle it because of their camber profile. The length never felt too short to me either. I put over 100 days on those skis. Lost some edge in the tip and tail from smashin into stuff but underfoot was just some edge cracks that never pulled out.
I moved on to the El in 182 this year because I wanted something wider and these were actually lighter than their designated park skis. I figured i wouldnt have any issue popping my lipslides with a wider ski if it were lighter and that has proven to be tru this year. I've got probably 30-40 days on these so far. In the park and in the streets a bit. There are a few edge cracks but nothing that looks like it'll cause problems. The ski itself is very fun. I feel like I have so much control and stability at higher speeds. I don't flex my skis much but trying to get better with nose butters on these hasn't been a struggle.
hunna_tyskis will be the same size and there may be a slight price increase but other than that, graphics are gonna be at an all time high and the quality and durability is unmatched.
ItsyaboiHUCKMy man if they just made a 181 it be so fucking golden!!! For the stinger or transfer

hot.pocket178 ---> 181 is barely a noticeable difference, especially on a full cambered ski. Just grab the 178s, if they made a different size the jump between sizes would most likely be a lot more than 3cm.

you'd have plenty of fun on the stinger or transfer in 178. no issue at all.

jjdsteezethis is true. but so many people have it in their heads that if the ski is NOT bigger than x size, that they wont have fun/be able to ride it. even though the difference from 178-181 would be unnoticeable.
