chronics are soooooo tight. i have the regular kind, and i've skied on the wides and i adore them. they're great for going really huge and not dying. seriously, i have come out of huge corks and just been thinking that there was no way i would land, but some how i did. but aparently butterlisciouses are pretty sick. see if you can take them for a test ride. idk if you live on the east coast, but i do, so i dont really need the wideness but it might be good for you. the chronics are pretty stiff, but they have sooooo much pop. soooooo much.
