Fat rockered park skis? what should i get?

so next year i wanna get a pair of fat rockered park ski's. ive skiied ep's and hellbents in the park and i loved both, but i want something a little narrower. like a under 115 waist ep or hellbent would be perfect.

im thinking over 100 and under 115ish. i was thinking next years kung fuja's would be fun. i liked this years alot. and next years are 102 right? only thing i dont like is that id rather have it flat under foot than cambered. and a little more rocker would be nice. maybe next years bacons? arent they rockerd and around 115?

other than that i cant really think of much else.

im 5'10, 150. and ill be using them on jumps alot, i probably wont hit much over 40 footers with them. ive got some stiff park ski's for that, i just want something buttery and super playful for fucking around.

Bacon's wont have as much rocker as the Kung fujas but they'll be softer.

I was looking for skis like this last season, but I ended up decided to sacrifice rocker and get lizzies. My second choice was the K2 Obsethed which I demoed and really liked, they seem like they fit your needs just about and they ski pretty well even at centre. Or, if you liked hellbents, why not just get shorter ones as a park ski?

i just didnt like the width, and weight, just a little too much for a park ski. how fats the new obsethed? and is it equal tip and tail rocker? id look at last years too.

just get one life's they aren't too stiff and they are flat under foot and the rocker is symmetric so you can mount them center if you want

i demo'd the new lifes last year on a sloppy spring park day and they were crazy fun. little stiffer than hellbents but lighter and poppier. 124mm waist tho i think, but id for sure consider the new lifes

Next year's Fujas is pretty legit. Don't worry about the camber, as soon as you stand on them they just go flat, there's so little. All it really does is give you a bit more pop.

They have one hell of a sweet flex pattern. Super soft tip and tail but underfoot they have a bit of grunt and they're really springy considering how wide they are.

im pretty sure the new obsethed is alot fatter, over 115 for sure, i think around 120. this years are pretty awesome all over the mountain, there camber underfoot which seems to be what you are looking for, but you can really do anything. my friend was hitting 60 foot jumps and riding the whole park this year with no problem, you should check them out
