Haven't bought new skis in a while and haven't really been keeping up to date on what's new. Looking for something light and durable. also anyone know anything about the afterbangs? I love line but have been hearing the afterbangs are real heavy

I don't know much about after bangs besides the fact that my friend has the 2014 model and they seem pretty heavy but they're durable I guess. If you want me suggestions you should maybe specify what you want so more people can help

the afterbangs are really durable if you are mainly hitting rails and jibs, but not if you are hitting big jumps because they can easily delaminate. The afterbangs are not really heavy, but they are not really light either, if you want something light and durable look at the ar7/t-hall or chronic/future spin.

Ar7s are super light, pretty flexy, and very durable. Ive had mine since 2011 and there is nothing wrong with them besides minimal topsheet scratching and chipping. Bases are nearly pristine and the edges are not rusted and are in place. Would highly recommend Armada for park.

Look at the Volkl Wall. Very poppy, stable, durable, and the tip and tail actually have a little flex to them and are quite responsive.

I was at a shop yesterday and hand flexed both and the a bangs aren't much softer really, I think you would enjoy the Wall
