At the moment, id rate myself at the intermediate level but by the end of next season i will probably closer to advanced as im getting the sos pass to okemo, sunapee, and stratton, and plan on going about twice a week.
Also, i seem to have picked the sport up fairly quickly so my concern here is not only buying a board that will do what i want it to, but also one that i can grow into.
My first board was a Dinosaurs Will Die Genovese 151 (I'm 5'6" 145- 150 lbs.) and i did like the board but never got the chance to try any others so i dont know what a normal camber or reverse camber feel like. This somewhat has me leaning towards getting a hybrid and from what i hear they are pretty reliable all around...
My current bindings are a pair of 2013 burton reflex malavitas and havent ridden them yet as i had an old beat up pair of cartels last season.
I bought the malavitas on a whim and now im wondering if i made a good choice?
As far as what i want to do on the mountain:
I want to start getting into the park a bit, (kickers and jibbing, no pipe interest as of now) however don't want to give up too much stability or the ability to bomb a run.
id also like to fit some glades in there as well.
Obviously im looking at an all mountain board here but not really sure which route to go with.
Also, id prefer not to go bigger than a 153.
some boards i was looking into were the Magic Banana, Attack Banana, Never Summer SL, and last but not least the Gnu Space Case (Which i cannot find a single reliable review for, much my like the Genovese. I dont want to suffer buyers remorse again.)
I kind of like the idea of magnetraction because i currently do all of my boarding on the east coast and i believe the hype having never heard someone say it does nothing at all.
So can anyone give me any info on the boards i mentioned or maybe even steer me in the right direction with another board?
ps - i am really interested in the Space Case but cant seem to find ANY reliable info on it. does anyone own or know anyone who owns one of these?
how is the assymetrical design works out?
also if it would be good for what i want to do and if it is fast?
