Buying 2th board! Park/Rail/Flex

Hi there boarders! Peter here :)

Before I begin I must apologize for my bad english, but that's life!

Yeah, I have been snowboarding for 2 season's now, and I got my carves, and I am starting to move into rails and medium sized jumps. Atm I got a pretty stiff board, and a bit to heavy for me, so I can't really make to rotate it good on jumps, and I can't pop it. Olie I find impossible with the board, because of the stiffnes. I find it really, boring. So I am looking for help to choose a board that seems to be a good one for my riding;

I am looking for a board with flex, so I can do board press (Tail/Nose), pop around, and get some air with :) My budget is alright I guess for my current skillset, about 500-600$ maximum. I live in Norway.
I got a snowboard shop not far away from me, and they got a website. Could you check if any of thoose board on this website is anything to consider? Press here
My current weight is about 143lbs +/- 5, height is about 1.83m (6ft 03⁄64in) and shoe size is around 10-10.5
(US size)
Weight    143lbs +/- 5 (65kg)
Boot size 10-10.5 US (45 EU)
Riding style (do you like to charge steeps?): Spin 7's/9's, ride groomers?) As I am in the begginger/getting comfertable level, I guess this brett is going to be used to 180s, 360s, railing, poping around, and 5´s later on. And presses, loads of presses! It will be a park&rail board.
Age (are you still growing and puttin on weight?): I am 16, but my weight and height is pretty stable, but I guess I will gain more weight.
budget (if you have one): Max. 500-600$ but if you could check this page, if any of thoose boards are worth it;This page
Your location of riding; Norway, really can´t say more. Since we got all kinds of weather and different ride places.



Ty guys! :) and ride hard!This page

Haha, true true. I do not think the board will make me better, and magicly I can do presses. But I know for a fact, after lending my board to other riders who did´nt belive me (About what I wrote about my board here), trying to prove me wrong, couldn´t do it themself with my board. And I can do nose and tail presses with softer and a bit smaller boards :)    But could you please check the link, if any of thoose boards are anything worth buying? They are around 300$, as that is a very acceptable price for me :) But anyway, thanks for the response!

Originally posted by 2zz For size considering what you'll want it for, 150-154. My buddy is also a progressing beginner and is riding a 154 and wish to downsize for more freestyle riding. O he's bout the same size as you. Checked ur website and I've only seen Academy on the mtn from that site. I dunno much bout it so try to do some research on yourself. I dunno which Academy boards I saw but looked like they got a board for your riding style. Those guys on the Academy boards were sick with it. If not, Rome Agent, Capita Indoor, Lib Tech Banana, Sierra Reverse Crew just to name a few. Rome Artifact Rocker might be too flexy for bigger features...just an example.

I can get a Agent for 3000,- NOK, about 450-500$. Worth it? :)

I had both the Stunt and R.Crew and sold the R.Crew and kept the Stunt for park (softer more playful).  But as 2zz said above, sizes kind of limit your selection here.  I also recommend the R.Crew 151 for your weight/height... pair with Sierra Rome S90 bindings.
