I just got off the water and I have to say I think it might be the best D3 I have ever ridden. I ran a 28, a few 32s and 35s and then took some stabs at 38. On my last go I ran inside 6 ball at 38. For a first ride that is freaking really really good for me. I fully expect to ski up to my all time PB score on this ski.
The ski has some of the attributes I remember from the Quest. The ski is very stable and supportive approaching the ball. You need to remember to keep your head up and shoulders extra level going into on side.
Oooo yea and it is the fastest D3 by far. That is for sure.

I thought about going for the ARC but bought a Vapor because of the hype on BOS.
See John,your site does influence ski sales...
I made the mistake of loaning my Blue ARC-S to my neighbor "Bad Water Bob". He told me I could have it back when I pulled it from his cold dead fingers. He claims he has ordered his own ski so I should be able to ride the S soon.

As for size, I would definitely go with the 68" ARC-S. I think this will be skiable at both speeds for a person of your size.
The ARC(S) is a rare combination of speed and stability...not quite sure how they pulled that off but there's many skiers on it that feel comfortable on it the first set.
When you call D3 to get your ski tell Kari I said "HI"

Try the Demo team, or Demo program.
But if you love stable and supportive approaching the ball and a fast forgiving ski you have to try the Rev 6 @Horton. Would love to get your review on it
