I’m 14 5’11 150 and i ski the east coast. right now im riding 164 t walls which are wayyy too short for me. i was thinking about getting size 180+ next year. either looking into on3ps, jetskis (if i can), vishnus. should i go bigger than 180 since im still growing or would that be overkill?
lukegeyerdo you think that the big jump in length with screw me over? or do you think ill be able to adapt quickly
I think you'll adjust just fine, any ski you buy you're going to have to adjust to anyway. I would definitely look at above 180 because you are already so tall and you're still growing. Other option would be to buy a cheap used pair that would fit better until you know you are done growing.
lukegeyerwhat size should i get? im still growing and want to fit into them next year
It would be in between 183 and 189. The early rise tip and tail would make the ski feel a size smaller. If ur gunna keep growing get 189. Jets are already sold for this season. Next time they will sell is next February-ish.

I mean everyone on here will tell you yes and for wets probably. There’s super light so it’s easy to control them. I’m 6 4 and 189 is the same height as me but I still occasionally ride my 183 wets from a year back

do you notice a difference when you switch between them? like does one feel more comfortable when you ride or what
They'll ski everything really well and hold up for you. Money well spent, small skier owned and operated company, hold their value if you want a different pair in the future, etc.
