This is the same board that I have but a different year. It's more of an intermediate board with the flex rating being a 5. It can be good for the park but also great to just cruise down the mountain.

If you are looking to step it up a notch then this is the way to go. These are a 6/10 flex.

If you are a girlie looking to get into the park then this is the way to go a bit softer and more flexible but still able to cruise the whole mountain.
Union Legacy
These are the most comfortable and soft helmets.
