 clrussel - like riverrat mentioned, you need to get yourself a more modern ski if you are looking to slalom. Getting one with a rear toe plate may be beneficial to start so you can get up on 2 ski's and practice dropping one until you are comfortable.

Lol I don't care for the crap in this thread, it's kinda entertaining! I'm 5-10 190, and step dad is 6-3 170, hopefully can find a ski to fit both. I'll look into that ski mike

69" inches on a open water ski - most brands similar - HO, Radar are tops... IMO - then bindings cover a range of foot sizes usually 3 sizes - i.e. XL on HO for 10-13.

A big person at lower speed needs more surface area (longer/wider ski). Here is a basic chart to help explain and get you in the ballpark. http://www.waterskiworld.com/water_s...ize_chart.html Pick the biggest ski of that bunch and give it a try. A little extra ski tends to help us beginners.
