It can be more intricate than just "stiff" or "soft". For example, an all over soft board isn't good for park because, for one reason, you won't get any kind of ollie snap out of the tip/tail. Consider your weight and riding power to help you determine the different flex aspects you like in a board(torsional, tip, tail, middle, etc.) and start flexing some various board models at the stores. If you want to ride switch a lot then possibly consider a true twin tip for solely in the park. Don't go overly deep on the sidecut either as the board will want to hook into a turn on an off balance landing.
