new board help

Hey all,
i’m looking at picking up an new board for the up and coming season and for the states next jan.
ive been riding some cheap rossingol that i picked up in new zealand 3 years ago and its time to step it up.
im looking for something soft enough for park and butters and stuff but still able to ride the whole mountain.
basically i just want an all round board

ive been looking around and think i have narrowed it down to the captia indoor survival or the yes basic.

if anyone has had experience with these boards or has some other options to look at id appreciate any help ! theres so many options and im abit lost. thanks for any help

I’ve only seen it when it has been fully clothed (thank God), and trust me when I say it’s as bad as mine!!!!!  long face

 

so im settled on the YES basic but i have been looking online and cant seem to find any 155s anywhere. i’ve looked through all the shops on the list in the forum and have been searching google but no luck!

Does anyone know of any shops in the melbourne area that has them in stock?! sorry for all the questions!

LOL LOL LOL  Ryan was right the first time! Mizu’s got the rig of a male model, compared to my current physique! (especially at the moment - I’ve got a LOT of work to do before I get back on a board red face)

just to clarify, don’t the Yes Basics come in camrock and standard models?  Presumably you are referring the camrock one to ryan?
