7.5 for fujatives are optimum to take advantage of the ski's flex pattern.

dunno really about SV, but probably id go +4 or 5.

I use my SV for everything but mainly big mnt. and they are mnt at +5.5 IF they are mainly for jibbing go with +6- +7.5, as for the fujitives go with +10.

if your a huge park rat then mount your fujatives TRUE CENTER, not core center like it says on the side.

fujatives at +10 are by far the sickest park ski to ever have. I have mine mounted there and i wouldnt change it for the world. Sickest place to mount em
