if you're less than 160lbs i wouldn't reccomend the jib nas only because they are so stiff and you're gonna find them harder to control and less playful. They are definitely more durable than the afterbangs no matter what anyone else says, and although it doesnt matter, theyre about twice the price. This coming year's model is supposed to be slightly more flexible from what i've heard for the jib nas, but still a stiff ski. If you are light or just getting into park i'd recommend the afterbang, it won't last as long but its a popular entry park ski for a reason.
