Large man skis, where to buy???

[Bubba1235]

At 6' 7" and 240 lbs (size 14 foot) I find "normal" skis to be too small. I either have to ski at a higer than normal speed or I plow the water, both of which are very tiring. (And the bindings are too tight.)

I see experts say I should be using a 72" (min) ski but I don't seem to be able to find any thing. Does anyone have advice and/or links?

Thanks

Takes a while sometimes to get a reply, especially on a specialized topic.

I did some searching, and came up with this site:

Check out their retro models and their longboard slalom ski. 72" length is nothing to these guys.

I did not look at prices, but they have what you're looking for.

Yeah, that's a bunch. My first pair of combo skis cost me $19.95 at Sears. Of course, that was in 1962.
