twin tip; great trick and freeride board.
Also a 152 Timeless - semi directional, snappy flex, powder/free ride specialist.
My Line Up's

I have a 6'1" x 18 x 2 1/8
with plenty of rocker and a bit of extra thickness in the middle -
seems to go best in 3-6 foot conditions.
Also a 6'6" x 18 x2 1/4. Again, plenty of rocker and a little more weight for "paddling in" abilities. Kicks Ass in 6-8 foot conditions.
