Hey everyone!
I'm new to skiboards and have recently become obsessed with ski ballet from the 70-90's. Check out the video below, it's so cheesy and majestic!

I've never really been interested in terrain parks so I would really love to kinda mesh together modern skiing ground tricks, figure skating moves, and some of those retro ski ballet tricks on skiboards.
However, I'm really torn between what length skiboards I should get. I'm 5'1 and have been drooling over RVL8's 75cm boards since I'm going for a figure-skiing type of thing. (I have a really dope pair of Armada's that I intend to continue using for like racing down double blacks. So I'm not as concerned about having skiboards that can do EVERYTHING.) But I've read they don't do well in powder and I currently live in PA so the snow is not always perfectly groomed. Plus descriptions always seem to allude that 75cm boards are limited or just for beginners, and longer is better.
So I'm also considering the Summit ZR 88cm, I've heard good things about the old Dynastar Twin 88cm, and maybe the RVL8 Blunt...but I'm not sure if wider and/or longer would be better for what I'm trying to do. And I haven't found any place where I could rent 75cm boards to see how they ride in comparison to the 94cm boards I've tried. I would really love to hear from anyone who has ridden 75cm boards. Or if anyone has tried figure skating kind of moves on them!?
