Stiff park ski suggestion

Coming from New Zealand, we aren't really exposed to the under-dogg companies So Im wondering if NS could recommend a bomber park Ski that won't noodle out after half a season of hard and dirty riding ...
Spark notes: 6'0", 220lbs, gone through all 3 Armada offerings (AR6, PC and T-Hall) in the past 2 seasons and every pair have become limp dick (aka soft as fuck, no camber left) from abuse lol ...
Predominately big booters, with some rails and jib features thrown in the mix for shitz and gigglez.

Haven't skied them but heard a mixed bag of feedback about them. I gave the 182cm Atomic Punx a blast on a demo day and yea I was over-cooking the shit out of them - needless to say I do athletics in the off-season lol.

Yeah the new chronics are the same specs as the old cryptos dude so they're 92 underfoot and fairly stiff for a park ski....tell ya what though I got a buddy who's bigger than you who's rockin surface doubletimes and loves em...they have a weird flex pattern but he launches on those things and he's an ex college football player if that gives ya an idea of how big he is....we call him moose...lol

Word, I think Im sold then. Always keen to give boutique brands a shot and Surface from what I gather does score pretty highly on the legit scale :)

Volkl Wall seems like the perfect ski for you.

Surface double-times are a gooood choice. I demo'd some and they're great. Plus last years (same as this years specs) are like $300 on evo

Chronics
Cryptonites
Dynastar makes some real stiff skis
Volkl Walls
s4's may not feel as stiff to you as they do to some because of your size
Try to find a leftover pair of Fischer Addict Pro's if you could.

I'd go with the Rossi Scratch. Really stiff and durable and can handle everything you throw at it. They're actually also really fun to just ski around on.
