Why 165 cm and 175 cm Models Perform Exceptionally with ShredShox
165 cm – Agile Precision Meets Stability
The 165 cm setup delivers short-ski maneuverability with long-ski stability.
Its 14 m turning radius and shorter contact length make it lightning-fast edge-to-edge, ideal for skiers who prefer quick transitions, tighter turns, and all-mountain agility.
ShredShox suspension eliminates the instability typically associated with shorter skis—absorbing vibration, maintaining traction, and offering the confidence of a longer ski at speed.
Recommended height range: 5’4”–6’0” (163–183 cm)Best for: Technical skiers who love carving, quick control, and dynamic performance in varied snow conditions.
175 cm – Power, Glide, and All-Mountain Versatility
The 175 cm model provides a more planted and powerful feel, ideal for skiers who crave high-speed stability without sacrificing agility.
The longer contact length offers enhanced edge grip and composure through turns, while the ShredShox platform smooths out vibration and terrain inconsistencies.
It skis like a traditional 185 cm model—stable, quiet, and fast—but with reduced fatigue and improved responsiveness thanks to the suspension system.
Recommended height range: 5’8”–6’4” (173–193 cm)Best for: Confident all-mountain skiers seeking balanced performance, stability, and power across diverse terrain.

Growing up in the 1970s in South Lake Tahoe, Jay skied at Heavenly Valley and was a member of the Heavenly Valley Blue Angels race team. He later transitioned to freestyle skiing, training alongside early innovators such as John Clendenin and Bill O’Leary in the Lake Tahoe area.
As an entrepreneur, Jay founded San Jose Yamaha in San Jose, California, running the business from 1994 to 2005. Under his leadership, the dealership rose from 40th to 3rd in its district before its sale in 2005. During this time, he actively competed in motocross and jet ski racing, qualifying for and competing in the World Finals in Lake Havasu in 1998.
In 2005, Jay relocated to Palm Desert, California, to take over his family’s business, Dels Flooring. He transformed it into the Coachella Valley’s largest commercial flooring company. Today, the business is led by his son, who coincidentally attended high school with Nick Foster, ensuring its continuation into the third generation.
