Looking for surfy and damp freeride board

Hi guys,
I regularly ride with a few friends who are pretty good and fast skiers. I’ve noticed having problems keeping up sometimes on my 154 park board. I want to get into the freeride board game in order to keep up more easily.
So what I’m looking for is a fast and damp board (I love dampness) which swallows bumps and crud and still has a surfy feel to it. I’m not looking for a super stiff plank that doesn’t forgive any mistakes and makes my old bones hurt at the end of the day. ;)
My shortlist so far (and concerns):
- NS Chairman (super damp but probably too stiff/too much work? Can the Cobra really replace the Heritage?)
- K2 Turbo Dream (Zero Camber with rocker in tip and tail sounds surfy and fun but can’t tell how damp it is)
- RIDE Berzerker or Highlife UL (Too much work?)
- Arbor Wasteland (Love the Arbor rocker but found the Coda a bit squirrelly)
Bonus NS question: I rode a NS Heritage a few years back which I liked a lot because it wasn’t too stiff and still pretty damp. It felt surfy enough. Now NS discontinued the heritage and it looks like the Cobra is supposed to take the Heritage’s place in the line-up. Yet I remember the Cobra being more on the freestyle side of the spectrum. Did they change the Cobra for this season?
I appreciate your input!
