i think its "kung fujas" but anywho, i dotn think kung fujas would be good for what he wants.
i would say if you could find some 1st generation AR5's then those are nice and light and soft. The AR6's arnt too bad, they are softer than all the other AR5's (besides, 1st generation). Invaders would be a good choice, anthems would be okay, but they are a little wider than what you want.
If you have liked your fujatives but want something a little softer go invaders...

id narrow it down to the AR6 or TM
both similar in flex and width
the only huge diffs is graphics and price eh?

I have been given the impression that the Troublemaker doesn't hold up as long from rails. Anyone else have some input?

If the ar6's are anything like the ar5's, you will have some trouble flexing them at your size. I would go for the TM's.
