pretty sure the 184 arv 96 is gunna ski way longer than a 189 wet. the vishnu size chart says to go with 183 if youre above like 5'7 or something

Get the 189. If it's too long just cut it down to size. Remember 1 inch is 2.54 cm

If you like to ski fast outside the park get 189s. I'm 6 foot on 183 wides and they are just a hair too squirrely, another 6cm will probably help. Definitely getting 189s with the drop.

189 for sure. because of the rocker pattern and flexability, vishnus ski a bit smaller. not a huge differnce but i think 189 will benefit you considering your height

Vishnu recommends anyone taller than 5’7” rides the 183cm skis? What is the recommended height for 189cm?

5’7” = 170cm

183cm (ski length) - 170cm (skier height)
= 13cm

189cm (ski length) - 13cm
= 176cm (skier height)

176cm = 5’9”?

Do they recommend anyone over 5’9” to get the 189? Lol. I have emailed them to ask I’ll post an update when I hear back.

5’7” = 170cm. Earlier in this thread it was mentioned that someone who is 170cm tall should be on the 183cm skis. Those skis would be 13cm taller then the skier. I was just applying that logic to the 189 skis

The math is right. But the suggested sizing is definitely not right
