Hellbent 189?
I current ride a set of JJ 185s and I make em work effortlessly, sometimes however i feel like i could use more flotation in the super deep stuff. How much of a difference do you think i would notice on a set of 'bent189s?

I think you will feel a lot more float and control in the deep stuff than the JJ's, which are nice in it, but sometimes feel a little lacking. The 'Bents will have a hard time feeling lacking in the deep. The 189's should work for you if you kill it on the 185 JJ. Remember they are actually longer than 189, about 193-194, since K2 posts effective edge, and the rocker makes it shorter.
