I’m 175cm tall and 160lbs. Should I get the line blend in 171 or 178? I will be using it for 100% park only. Which size would be better? I also love doing nose butter tricks, not sure if shorter or longer would be more beneficial for that.

Forsure 178. They ski super short cuz how soft and rockered they are. If your hitting jumps or bigger rails you could even go 185

Get Vishnu wets, I’ve got 3 years of straight park abuse and they have ZERO edge cracks. Last week I demo’d the new Chronic and within 2 hours I had FOUR edge cracks. And of course I Detuned the shit out of it. Avoid Line 🙏
