Im trying to find some new skis for this season and im looking for something light and full camber.

I am 6'1 155 and i currently ride on 2011 182 Surface No Times. I like them, but i want something more symmetrical and cambered.

I was looking at the volkl steps (I know not fully cambered), 4frnt switchblades, the new J skis, etc..

Please enlighten me with experience and or other reccomndations.. Thanks NS

RMU Diams. Fully symmetrical and apparently on the stiffer side.

I would recommend going to a shop and hand flexing a bunch of skis and seeing what you like the feel of the best. I've had good experiences with ON3P, and the prester is a sick new full cambered park ski for them this year. Moment jibs/teams also look pretty sick. Most companies make at least 1 fully cambered freestyle ski, I would say just do some research and visit a shop. Most shop workers would be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

Walls, Punx, Diams, there's a lot of them.

I currently have Diams, and I had Punx for the past 3 years. Never ridden Walls. I LOVED my Punx. Super fun ski. Not particularly stiff though. Although all of the Atomic riders ride them in comps, they are not as stiff as a Suspect, Wall, Ace, etc... The Diams are stiffer, and wider. I can't notice a weight different between the two, but you might. I don't know. I like the Diams better because they feel more stable on landings because of the extra beef underfoot.

I haven't flexed this years punx but they are suppose to be stiffer than previous years punx which to me felt like butter machines with camber.

I have these right now and I'm enjoying them, surprisingly playful for a stiffer ski as well!
