Does anyone think that the 188 cm length is too chort for these? I had some S7's that were 188's and I thought that they were way too short. Should I go for these or something bigger like the Ben Chetler at 192?

It depends on how big you are, and what type of ski you're used to skiing. For me, the 188 S7 did feel a bit short, but the megawatts felt fine in 188. Could they benefit from having a bigger size, probably, but the 188 is a great ski for what it's designed to do, and it does it pretty well. For me, the 188 seemed to work really well.
