if the dumonts are too soft then the AR6 probrably will be also.
the wall is a good ski especailly on jumps.
other skis to look at are line chronic, 4FRNT TNK, pipe cleaner,
these are all stiff to med flex but for your size should work out.

you're going to want a stiffer ski... so you should probably look at chronics.

The only thing about the PC is that the tips aren't very stiff, so keep that in mind if you want something stiff in the tip and tails.  The TNK is very stiff all around.

ehh. doesn't really matter. i don't own them, but chipping shouldn't affect performance

now if it's true delaming... then he can epoxy it/ warranty
