I'm looking into getting a new board; I have only ever ridden a solid traditional board, but have noticed an increase in pro riders using flex boards for riding on the boat (Bob Soven etc.) My riding style is very smooth and flowly, I like taking tricks and big grabs to the flats, and I also love carving around, sliding the board and such. So I was wondering if anyone could offer insight as to the attraction to flex boards for boat riding, and if you have any experience, preference and why.
The more feedback the better!
