Hello!

I need some help choosing a powski, I would like to hear from people who have actually used the skies Im thinking of, Ive read about all I can read about them.

So, I live in norway....we dont get tons of pow, but sometimes like everywhere else, we get our share. Im also in the alps a couple of times every winter. So, Im 6`10(186cm) tall and Im usually a pretty dedicated park rider, but I love to ride the pow when it comes and I love to play around doing butters, shredding forrest pow trough the trees and also hit bc kickers and park kickers.....so that is kinda what i ski.
I will only be using these skies when its just been snowing and then i want to be able to go hit the park as well as the cruzing on and off slopes.

So Ive been checking out two models both from Line, the SFB and EP Pro. It will be one of them, but which? Do the SFB got a "reversed flex" like the EP Pro so it floats well in deep powder? Ive also heard the SFB aint that soft...true? And how does the SFB perform cruzing/landing switch in powder?
I see the EP Pro got a 127mm waist and the SFB got a 115mm, thats a pretty big difference.

THANKS very much upfront for any help and/or advice!
 
your 6'10? i havnt ridden the ep's yet but i have a pair of the original bacons(i heard something about them being softer then this years bacons) they are a really fun ski, they float extremely well. they are vary soft in the tails and a tad stiffer in the noses. i cant even describe how buttery they are. sooooo sick. they kill it. im not sure how well they will do for someone who is 6'10 though... if you have any other questions feel free to send me a message, i know i didnt really explain much right there but i am in a hurry
 
hehe yea im probably 6`1, we use cm here so i get confused. ok, so bacons are good huh?Would like to hear from somebody who have ridden them both or the ep pro....thanks alot for the feedback so far though!
 
Ok its done, i bought the SFB with look px15 bindings from untracked.com which btw is a GREAT online shop, I can really recomend it. I live in Norway and I said I needed it ON friday and they just worked superfast and shipped it out to me asap with dhl express. the cost for shipping, $50!!

That freakin ripoff place twintipnation told me they would need $300!!! for shipping to Norway, please.....

anyway im stoked, think the skies will be ballin!
 
I love my Bacons, have them mounted with Jesters anbd they just kill it in the pow, they are also pretty damn good on groomers too, especialy switch.
