Jibs only

Hey,

I’m am looking to buy a jib specific board and i have it narrowed down to the forum scallywag and the Rome artifact rocker. any details on the two boards would be helpful. And if there is a board that would be a good look at also i ride any board between 147-154. thanks for the help before time.

I’ve heard good things on both…  Forum and Rome have a stacked pro team with kick ass jibbers and it reflects in their product lines.

I can’t comment personally on either but I rode the K2 WWW yesterday and it was a sick jib stick…  super soft with nice blunt ends but could still hold decent speed for a buttery deck.

Those are three solid decks that have pretty deep fanbases, you can use the weight stats versus length to help you narrow it down (getting one that is at the length you want with your weight in the middle of it’s range).

I know im new to the site, but i recently tested (and now purchased) a burton whammy bar, and fell in love. lots of tech for the price, and very jib specific. new mid scoop, scoop tip and tail, ellip kicks…very much worth looking into. great board.

Yeah the Whammy is a good shout for sure. Especially if you can get the Damien Marley Graphic… one of the best looking boards all season.
