Hi guys, I have been wanting to get a board for having fun all around the mountain. So, sidehits, flat tricks, buttering, carving, a bit of switch, solely on piste. I have my other boards for powder and backcountry stuff. I have narrowed my search down to:
Capita DOA
Capita Indoor Survival
K2 Afterblack
Rome Party Mod

With the intention of getting the one that would be available in my size.

As you might have noticed, I was purely looking at burlier FS Twin Boards. But then I had an epiphany (I am a big boy now, I use big words) - What I am looking for sounds exactly like the marketing texts I've been seeing about Party Boards. Problem being, I have absolutely no idea how party boards ride, what the differences between them are and which ones suck. So, send me your recommendations. I still would like to have a twin-ish shape but am open for everything. Or tell me how much you hate party boards. Or normal boards. Or tell me I am stupid (I know that already).

I think that boot size combined with your lighter weight lend themselves to a volume shifted board.

Maybe something like a ride Warpig or Twinpig or the Marhar Lumberjack? Really depends on what size you're wanting. Several of the decks above don't come any smaller than 152. I also love the Salomon Dancehaul, but its not going to be amazing to ride switch. (Does fine in my book, but I don't ride switch a ton.)

Party boards are stupid fun. I prefer volume shift for what you are talking about. I ride a K2 Party Platter and it’s awesome at switch while still doing everything you are talking about.

A few other thoughts downside on these maybe less desirable switch

I have both the Party Platter and the Party Mod.
Party Platter is no doubt one of my favorite boards I’ve ever owned. It’s a party board through and through, but also crushes pow and is excellent in the trees.

However I got sort of sick of short fats this season and picked up a Party Mod. The Party Mod is not a “party board” in what has become the traditional sense of it but it really does almost all the same things just as well. Probably doesn’t float as well in pow but it’s a park board so you’ve got to keep your expectations in line with that. I prefer a full length board so I’m very happy with the Party Mod. I’m still getting used to the way this board snaps vs something with camber and it’s almost killed me a few times already but I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

Almost killed you in what way if you dont mind me asking? Just curious as I have a party mod but have yet to hit any jumps at this time with it.
