It can be harsher at times, but the focus of the board is to be more responsive when ridden aggressively. And to add a personal anecdote, I ride a Salomon Assassin (~5/10 flex) and a Burton Deep Thinker (~7/10 flex).

Off top of my head for normalish directional carver type boards: Burton Deep Thinker or Hometown Hero or Flight Attendant, Arbor Iguchi Pro or Annex or A-frame, Rome Ravine Pro, Capita BSOD or Kazu, K2 Passport, Jones Stratos, Lib Tech Dynamo or BRD, Gnu Banked Country. I wouldn't buy a Cafe Racer. At your size you probably want the 164, which has a 278 mm waist which is WIDE. Speaking from experience with a size 10 foot, the CR's doable but lot of board to move around.

I’ve got a Deep Thinker for my powder board and I love taking jumps with it. But if you’re thinking about working spins, a more all mountain or freestyle board will be better for that. Powder boards unsurprisingly tend to not ride as well switch. So if you’re looking for an all in one powder board, look for anything not too heavily directional, like the Burton Deep Thinker, Jones Flagship, or Arbor Annex.

I’d recommend checking out the burton deep thinker. I’ve only gotten to ride mine for a few days at the end of the season but it’s been a killer board for me. It’s surprisingly nimble for trees. It is fantastic for charging down the mountain, stable at speed, and takes jumps like a champ.
