DOOD! Flex is so overated.
We are not snowboarding, Try a stiffer board like the LF Drop Ltd, we have had some of the best riders go to these boards that were riding the undergound FLX and cannot believe how much better they feel.
When are we going to learn from other sports, that hard flat landings on a board that bends like a banana just won't work.
My advice is test them both well and you will see what i mean.
Flex is rated, and we are not wakeboarding either.
Why are all the top brands like Underground, North, Naish, Slingy building boards that have flex?
I know in the case of Underground the boards are quite stiff between your feet and all the flex is in the tips, thats what makes Underground so nice to ride, best of both worlds.
Hard flat landings! Go for it??
The best riders land hard and FAST, not flat, if you are landing hard and flat you will break or your board will.
LF boards (which I sell) are stiffer than a lot of others at the moment, and in the end it all boils down to personal preference.
Judging on the basis of all the demo boards I have and the sales for each board flex is way more popular.
