First-time poster looking for board/setup advice. Here’s my scoop:
Currently I ride a 2010 K2 WWW 152 (w/ Formulas) and pretty much love it. I’m used to riding small (as small as 143) and playful boards. When I got back into riding more later in life I went up to a 158 directional (K2 Temptation) and thought it was too big and a little too rigid. As I rode mostly noodles when younger I went with the WWW after reading about reverse camber boards etc. I fell in love with the catch-free playfulness of the rocker profile. That said, I think the WWW is a little too soft and am looking for something with more pop, yet retains that faceplant saving action of the rocker board and would allow me to progress my riding. After some research I’ve come up with the following decks and am looking for something to sway me in the direction of one over the others (or maybe something I haven’t considered):
Looking for a more freestyle-oriented, true twin shape.
Thanks in advance.:bowdown:
