anything around a 175 would be nice, depending on what you were looking for in the park. if you like to butter, and jib around, even down to a 170 would be fine. i'd say look into the foils, since they ride pretty smooth all around, and are pretty light and flexy.

i would add karmas in a 177. they're a tad stiffer than the foils so would work nice on EC ice. maybe think about chronic wides in a 177, fairly similar. yeah, foils or karmas you can't go wrong.
