Was wonderin' if I could pick your brains a little. I am looking for a new board to replace my Illuminati Pentagon 164W. I went with a wide specific board three years ago and although I love the floatation in pow, the edge to edge response is a little slow. I have size 11 Salomon's with Drake F-60 bindings and freeride exclusively. I am looking for a relatively stiff board with fantastic edge control and stability at speed. Reduced vibration characteristics would be a plus.

Some boards that have caught my eye include:

Never Summer T-5 163
Donek Incline Wide 161
Arbor A-Frame 162
K2 Nemesis 162

I have been looking at mid wide boards @ 26 cm. Was wondering how much lower I could go if I grab some Palmer Power Links? I am 6'-0" and weight @ 175. Ride predominantly Sierra Cement.

Thanks all.
