i ski 90% park and 10% all mountain, 6 feet tall and i weigh 200 lbs, i am asking which ski has a better flex for someone that is my height/weight(anthem to soft?) and which one is better suited for ice coast skiing.

you're pretty heavy. so i would recommend the wall due to a stiffer flex. otherwise, if you ski that much park and want a ski that will be super soft for you, anthem all the way

I'm 6'1 and 180 lbs and i ride the 178 anthems.

if your skiing that much park, not matter how much you weigh you cant really go wrong with the anthems.

I would say Walls no question. 185 is a better length for you for one. The walls are more solid even though they are slightly softer this year.. basically if price is no issue, walls are a better ski than anthems.. the anthem is good for rails and jibbing but the anthem is a price point ski and the wall is a high end park ski.. i have skied both and i preferred the walls everywhere.. they are slightly better in the park, but they destroy the anthem everywhere else.. that said.. I am on moment reno rockers this year instead of walls.. check em out.. they do a 181..

just depends if you want a soft or a stiff ski, it's personal preference man. what skis are you on right now?

just to clarify, i am not recommending the moments as better than the walls as such, I am just saying I chose the moments for this season and they might be worth checking out.. The walls are great skis, I hope the moment jibs will be too (i haven't ridden them yet, they seem slightly stiffer and they have more camber, that is all i can tell you)

out of those too.
the wall for sure.
one of the best park twins ever made.  they will have a better feel for someone your size.
you can check out the Moment Renos if you want, but you will be extremely satisfied with the Walls.
really can't go wrong with them.
they will ever slay that coveted EC pow...

if price is no issue then the walls. better ski all around.

otherwise go for the lines. def a sick ski in the park. get the octoland graphics, way sweeter than the retro shit theyre comin with. def work the 30 bucks for the extra steeze while youre hikin the hill
