Advice On a Park Board!
Posted on 23:12 by Immigration

It board buying time again! With all these clearance sales going on at board shops I have convinced myself to throw down some money for a new board. You guys did a great job helping find my last board that I've decided to ask you again.
This time I'm looking for a park board. Here's a little info about myself. I've always owned longer and stiffer boards for charging the mountain, surfing down pow and rippin through trees but last year I started hitting the park a little and loved it even though I'm not that great (...yet). I am a pretty experience rider outside of the park but in the park I'm only able to do simple rails, most grabs and can sometimes throw a 360 if I'm feeling confident that day.
I'm looking for a softer more playful board that's easy to butter and jib but not so soft that I'm landing on a wet noodle when I'm hitting larger jumps. I also like boards with quite a bit of camber but honestly I don't know what profile is better for park. I also want this board to be half decent on groomers and easier tree runs in case I feel the itch to leave the park and am too lazy to grab my other board.
What do you guys think of the GNU Space Case? I have been recommended it by a few shops now. I was also recommended the Burton Name Dropper but I don't think the guy was paying attention to what I wanted because it is the softest board I've ever seen. Also, what size do you recommend? I am 5'7" and 170lbs and my current board is a Yes PYL 161. I know I want a shorter board but I don't know how short.
Thanks in advance for your replies. If you have any questions let me know.
