Hey, looking for some suggestions for boards

Im 5'4 145lbs

I do everything, Park to pow, basically I ride everywhere but the middle of the trail. I like a loose/surf feel and im always doing little 180s and little jumps off of the sides of trails. Hitting smaller rails. I seem to catch a rail more then i should with my Gnu carbon high beam. What I want in a board is Nimble, go anywhere board, durable and high quality. I dont bomb hills anymore, i more just stick to the side and play in natural terrain. I get to go out west about 2 times a year and showshoe/wintergreen more. I havent bought a board in 14 years (the gnu has been pretty durable) can you start pointing me into the right direction. and are the camber/rocker/camber boards loose enough to enjoy?

its so hard pouring through some of these websites and i leave feeling more confused with all the "sick dope v rock nasty edge with butter tits technology shove a banana in it" when they describe a boards features.

Its getting wordy
Im looking for (first to last priority)

-Nimble (fast forgiving turns for tight, natural trails,light on its feet)
-Skate feel in the park
-Forgiving coming off of rails or a not quite 360,
-Pow capable (always hunting for it)
-light weight board
-Durable, High Quality

dont care so much about hold the line hill bombing speed or jumping huge
