hello , I need help choosing a ski size

[haesungkim]

Hello,I am a student who enjoys water skiing in Korea.
I am 160cm tall and weigh 61kg. I am currently using d3ion soft 66 size.
I'm practicing 18.25m 52km
Should I change the size of 65?
Or is it better to ski one size bigger?

I’m guessing no one spoke up because metric is almost a foreign language here I the US. 
160 cm or 5’3” and 61kg or 135 lbs is right in the size range. The only reason to go down is if you’re having trouble turning or controlling the ski I n my opinion. There are those that have way more knowledge than I do so hopefully they will speak up.

I see no reason that a 66 is too big but you could easily be on a 65. It also depends on what your boat speed and line length is.

At 52km, the 66" Ion S should be fine.  Should you progress into 55-58km and start shortening the line you may want to size down to a 65".

I'm also on an Ion S and in between sizes and actually prefer the larger ski where I'm at the bottom of the recommended weight range.

I'm currently using a size D3 Ion soft 66, would it be more helpful for me to use a size 65 if I could use both a size 65 and a size 66? 
I'm currently practicing 15 off 34 mph
Does riding just right on the D3 ski benchmark always help water skiing skills?

Is it better to choose a size 65 suitable for the company D3's designated size?

52km에서는 66인치 Ion S가 괜찮을 것입니다. 55~58km로 진행하고 라인을 줄이기 시작하면 크기를 65인치로 줄이는 것이 좋습니다.

나는 또한 Ion S와 그 사이의 크기를 사용하고 있으며 실제로 권장 체중 범위의 맨 아래에 있는 더 큰 스키를 선호합니다.

65" is probably the better size if you have the option.

@haesungkimYour earlier note said 52kph which is 32 mph

If you can easily get a 65” ski I would recommend that you do so. I ski with a friend that is roughly your size and he skis a 65”. I’d give it a try at your size and speeds.
