Flex in Board Design
Posted: Mon Aug 23, 2010 3:52 pm
What function does flex in a board?
Do you need flex in a large light wind board with small waves?
Do you want flex if you're riding in chop? How about bigger waves?
Of course, you would need it for jumping and tricks to help the landing.
How much flex? How do you rate it or can you? (If the board breaks, there's too much!)
Do you want flex in just the tips or all across the board or just in the middle third? Can you build that in the middle if it's needed?
