A bit of a nostalgia mission here. Back in 2009-2015, my dad had an Underground FLX, the Pacific Legends line, five boards, each with a different Pacific mythology graphic. Unfortunately, due to my new account, I'm not allowed to post a photo on this forum. His was the purple one. He sold it years back and still talks about it as his favorite board hes ever had due to its visuals and performance, and genuinely regrets letting it go.
Underground closed down a long time ago (Adrian Roper went on to found Axis), so there's no company left to ask. I actually managed to track down the graphic designer, who confirmed the details and was great about it, but unfortunately I was not able to find a board from that conversation.
So now I'm doing the rounds of every kiteboarding community I can find. If anyone out there has an old Underground FLX sitting in storage, rode one back in the day and knows who might still have theirs, or just has any leads at all, I'd genuinely love to hear about it. Happy to pay for it and cover shipping from wherever it is.
UPDATE: I made the board image my profile banner on this website.
If you need a photo or some sort of visual, I'm not sure how I'd be able to, but here is a description: Purple board with a big black-and-white moai (Easter Island stone head) on the deck, facing left, with a flock of white birds flying across the rest of the board toward it. "UNDERGROUND" logo in graffiti-style lettering (white/yellow) sits in front of the moai's chest. Bottom of the board continues the same purple/bird theme, with the nose textured like carved stone to match the moai, and "FLX 135" printed near the tail.
Appreciate any pointers, even if it's just "I remember seeing one at X spot years ago."
Cheers,
Noah
