How to fit a spec ski

If I am buying a second hand spec ski how can I find out if it fits me before I go all the way to look at it.
Eg Is there a measurement I can take from the back of the seat to footwell that will tell me it suits my height?
My height is 175cm with an inside leg seam of 820mm.

Cheers

Hi Luke,

It's probably going to depend on the make of Spec Ski.

However, to give you a rough guide I'm 172cm tall and have an inside (groin to heal) measurement of 76cm.

I have a Hayden PR2 and the distance from the footwell (healpoint) to the deepest part of the seatwell is 83cm. This is a straight-line horizontal measurement.

Measuring from the bottom of the footwell to the bottom of the seatwell (up and over the "hump") the distance is 88cm.

There's probably a rough formula in there somewhere!

Remember though, you can pad both the rudder pedals and the footwells with super-high-density, closed-cell foam up a thickness of maybe 2cm, so if the ski is a little long, it might be possible to make minor adjustments.

Good luck.
