So my skis delaminated but it kept getting worse and worse and now it is terrible. I kept riding it and now the base is getting flattened. I'm gonna try to glue them but if it doesn't work well I'm gonna get new skis. I'm 5,9 and want wets but the lowest size is 173 I think. Will the rocker make it enough for them to fit? Also I know it doesn't make a difference but the 5,9 is without ski boots

I’m 5 foot 9ish and have 177’s which is the lowest size and I like em. Definitely don’t be worried about 177 being too big since there’s so much rocker

Go for the 183 honestly. For a ski that soft you'll want the support. I'm also 5'9" and I ride 185 blends for my park ski.
