Hi ,
Sorry to post again but I really need help. Im stuck between a K2 WWW Rocker 145cm, or the Forum Scallywag 151 for a new board And I have 1 week to decide before I go on holiday.
Im 5ft 4” with size 8 feet, reasonable rider and I probably do 50/50 mountain and park so want it to do everything.
I currently ride a 145 Nitro so am a bit reluctant to go to a larger board, but ive heard the K2 WWW can be a bit ‘washy’ on piste…. Im really struggling to find any 145 boards this time of year but if I go up 5cm there are loads available (but will this make it harder in the park)

Please help. Thanks

Yeah neither of those boards sound right for you. The Scallywag is too big and the WWW isn’t the best board for carving.

I’d check out these boards -

Stepchild Joe Sexton 148
Smokin MIP 147
Gnu Park Pickle 147
Forum Destroyer Chillidog 148

These boards should all perform in the park and grip in carves.

If you can hold tight until next year Amplid are releasing a 147 of their rockered jib machine the Dopamine, this is seriously the best jib board / freestyle board I have ever ridden. I tested it yesterday and it’s definitely on my shopping list for next year…. soooo good.
