K2 W.W.W. or Capita Stairmaster?

they both seem really good.... i don't know which to choose, i got a lot of positive reviews off the internet.


I ride 145cm, im about 5' 5" and weight about 110lbs. my boot size is 10 in men.


i do most things in the parks, which one is better according to you guys? or is there a better one for me?





Are they:


-light?


-twin tipped?


-good for buttering/enough flex?


-good for kickers/jumps?


-durable?

K2 W.W.W. or Capita Stairmaster?
K2-





Weight- super light the boards cut super thin


Twin- Yes


Buttery- Absolutley the only problem it that once it breaks in it turns into a noodle


Jumps- Not the best board but you could get by with it its gonna be super unstable on landings and take offs but you can handle it it wont be super bad


durable- this is debatable ive heard from others it is but im gonna say its not. After a while of using it for a jib board it gets sloppy and presses just dont look as nice





Capita-





Weight- Mid weight but not heavy just has a thicker profile


twin- yes


buttery- Yes but not as much as the www this board will keep a constant flex though you wont be all over the place.


jumps- Uhhh its kinda like the www but not as bad. Its still kinda a jib board so it wont hold its edge on landings or take offs super well but itll definatly be better than the k2
Reply:both nasty boards (ridden both of them), also both fairly weak though





www is a little more flexy makin it better for jibs and butters





stairmaster is gonna be more stable for jumps and better for freeriding





they can do pretty much the same stuff but they each hav their specialties, both are twin tipped and have extruded bases and biaxial flex patterns if you want to get into tech stuff





if you ride a www drop 5cm because they shaped it so you could do that, but i think the smallest is a 143 so get that, and for a stairmaster i think the smallest is 145 so that would be on the money if thats what size you ride





summary:


WWW = better for jibs and butters, and just screwin around on small stuff


Stairmaster = a little more all around than WWW, better for jumps and freeride, but not quite as good for jibs and butters but its still good for them





also rome artifact is similar = more like WWW but has a diff feel cuz it has a diff flex pattern (even a little more jibby than a WWW i would say)
