Your asking for two separate things the more you flex a ski to more seperation happens with the layers thins is who you never see surface double times and stuff skis delam but al dentes, Js, some on3ps etc delam quickly however there is a middle ground and it depends on how you ski and your budget and a ton of stuff but because of your size I'm not sure there is much out there for you other than a Rossignol scratch maybe? They are pretty soft and small, you could try some other bigger company's that produce a variety of smaller skis
On3p Magnus is what you're looking for, come down to a 161 but with that much rocker they will feel much shorter. Or I'm pretty sure the Charlie Murphy is a very similar ski (only based off dimensions and rocker specs) and comes in a 151
TottedBadgesHave a look at the Line Honey Badger!! My friend got them and they are great. I am not sure about the size though.
I know some people with them, I heard they're like noodles on your feet. I also heard they snap and delam after not much use. That's a problem considering I ski 3-6 times a week.

We ski only two till four weeks the year and my friendo simply likes the feel of a noodly ski and had no problem landing Flats and Backies with them. When it comes to flex it's more about personal preference...
Mitch_7495 asked for something durable, so he should probably go for something else.
mr-mcsteezejskis hold up pretty well. My friend used to teach on a pair and when the edge started to rip out, Jason got him a discount on a new pair.
I've heard lots of positivity about them but no shops near me sell them. My parents won't take me 3 hours to a shop just to get a pair, nor ordering them off the internet.

JemsThey don't know anything about skiing. Another problem is I don't think any J skis come Small enough for my size. (5'4)
How old are you? If you are going to grow more I would suggest sizing up bc you'll get more time out of your skis rather than buying a pair that you'll only get a year out of bc they'll be too small by the next season.
JemsDo you have a brother named Tom? Because I've seen some old videos of him if he is your brother.
Yes I do haha, Tom and Sam both shred.
But I really like them in the park. They are definitely a wide park ski, but I really like them. I've ridden all kinds of park skis from alpha 1s to volkl steps, to on3ps, I find the J's super fun, predictable on jumps but also super buttery and fun. I use them as a touring ski too with the cast system on it. Perfect for BC jumps and Pow less than like 10 inches. My only thing about them is a wish they were longer, I have the longest pair at 186, wish J made a 192 or something, just for touring, but for park the 186 is perf. I'm 6 feet
