has anyone ridden the 06/07 foil and can compare them to the ar6? like flex, performance in park, pow, all mountain, etc..?

well, my foils are center mounted, they worked well in the 34 inches sugarbush got in the woods, they rip on groomers, and in the park i love them, they have held up very well for around 45 days of skiing. they are soooo poppy, and light,

theres a reason Freeskier gave them a Editors Choice or whatever award they got

ar6's are pretty light, the foils were just lighter cuz of the foam core. the ar6s will last longer because they have a more durable wood core

foils are the shit. the ar6 is fun, but i think the foil is most definitely stiffer than the ar6. the wider footprint makes them really awesome for all mountain as well.
