I find it weird that 164 is about the longest you can find in the shop
these days. My main ride is a Coiler AM 172, and if conditions are soft
I'll be on my Rad-Air Tanker 200.

I haven't shopped for a board in a few years. I'll be checking the local
places this year for possible new boots and a jacket or pants.
Surprising about the length. Are you in UK, as I recall? I'll report
what I find here.

btw, you have some long, long boards! My skis, when I used to race skis,
were 195cm (as I said, I'm 5'9" and 150lbs...no time for conversion to
centimeters and stones or whatever now, sorry). Those things must cruise!
