With an inverse camber ski, you can go even smaller if you want. I ride skis that are typically below my chin and above my neckline.Rossignol's S7 Caballero ski is on its way too, and it's a mighty fine ski. It's on its way in to Rossi's warehouse last time I checked, and here are the (super-secret!) specs:http://rdtus.procommunity.net/actions/catalogpdf.php?productids=102I personally prefer Rossignol over K2, I find the skis to be slightly stiffer and all around freakingly awesome. Your mileage may vary.-----------------------------I ride reverse camber skis (or rockered or banana)in about the same length as a normal ski. All my skis are between 175 cm and 185 cm. In the K2 Hellbent I prefer the 179. I am 5 foot 9 inches and 145 lbs. I think you should just go with what you normally ski. Between the K2 Hellbent and the Rossignol S7 (Sage) the main differences are that the S7 is not a true twin and it has a truly progressive shape. While the Hellbent has a more traditional sidecut and is much closer to being a true twin tip. If you want even more of a true twin reverse camber ski look at the Line EP (Eric Pollard) Pro. It is truly awesome. We have it in stock and will be selling it online shortly.
