well this board is not a vary soft board but it is still a solid jib board because when JP designs his board what he does is make the nose and tail soft and stiffen up the middle so that it will still float in powder and still have a ton of pop...but if your willing to go other places with your money as far as the board goes for a great jib board that still has pop and can still go in powder id go with the DC PBJ its an amazing board that can handle everything... but if you want a jib only board id look at the stepchild jib-stick or the Joe Sexton pro model or the technine Lucas Magoon pro model or the Technine Re-Enforcer, or even the Ride Crush are all great jib boards.
