   Since you said you are new to this, I'm not sure how much you already know about snowboarding, but you've come to the right site to get helpful info.  As panther already stated, most park specific boards have a softer flex.  Depending on what you plan to do with the board, you can size down a little for a park board since you will most likely be throwing the board around either on rails, boxes, jibs or jumps.  Park boards tend to be freestyle twins meaning the tip and tail are the same.  There are a few different types of camber / reverse camber and two different types of bases (sintered and extruded).  Use the search function at the top and I guarantee you'll find everything you need to know about what you're looking for. Welcome to the site.

	softer= easier to jib. stiffer= better for bigger jumps to stick your landing

	You need a board with good flex and that is very soft and forgiving.

	usually a softer flex is good for a park board, especially if you'll be jibbing. some like reverse camber for park boards, it can be more forgiving, easier to press, and harder to catch an edge.
