Flexboardz Demo Ride
I was able to demo Jeff's (Big Kid) Flexboardz Haize today (think it was the modified by Chad setup)...
In a nutshell, if you haven't rode one, you have to try....I didn't want to get off....and I think I've had the FASTEST run on any board with the
Flexboardz..it HAULS...
Second thing...it looks heavy...but it's deceiving...I found it perfectly "JUMP-ABLE" if that's a word....In fact, when landing jumps, it had no
tendency to under-cut on my less-than-perfect landings.
I think I compared the flexboardz to my MBS COMP 95x in a verbal "Corvette vs Honda Civic".
Looking forward to owning one...

I have to agree with you. I land more of my jumps because I am able to steer out of the mistakes I make in judgement. The board is very stable at
speed. I can jump just as high as I could with my core 95. It holds a line better for better upwind and more load before it pops while still sliding
when I really wan't. It is much easier to slide on sand than on grass for me though. For me it is definatley a great board to learn and advance
with. The NABX edition or Chad setup gives it a bigger, smoother feel where I like my original stance that feels quicker and more nimble. I love the
board.

Rotations...
Until I can get front/back rolls down without face/back-planting, I'll be happy with it...now...If I would have been thinking, we should have let GABE
give it a try this afternoon...he was cranking 720's all over the place with my big old 18M.
Ike!! I'll let ya know when I'm back across the bridge with the Flexboardz....you're definitely welcome to give it a shot!

rotations and airs for me have been the same as with my smaller lighter boards. after a couple hours they became as familiar as any. the only
significant difference is the amount of pressure it takes to break it loose . standing on top the unit is not gonna feel loose at all. really have
to sit deep and push thru.
i have been back and forth on my GI flight 93(very small light unit) and FlxBz Haize. A noticeable point of use is the the top end speed. i had
became SO use to the unlimited wobble free higher speeds that when i go back to conventional boards YOU realize immediately the will not handle it at
20-25mph become unstable and require alot of attention to keep it together. if poping slow airs/rotations the smaller boards are gonna be easier to
handle esp. for a lighter rider, but for a taller/heavier rider no real difference.

deceiving....

You would think you could get one off Craigs list or something for 30 - 40 bucks, if not I have an extra 3 etrex's you can borrow for the 60mph speed
runs. Wouldn't want any controversy when you set the world record.
Might even have to throw a party

once i look, i'll get one ...taking the time to LOOK is my problem. an old etrex is what i want. low tide and ON/SIDE ON breeze coincidence is the
issue , the next 60 days is gonna be best for here , may trip to jekyll for better tide set up.
thanks JEFF!

40+mph sprints is kinda the start point with most 20knt sessions, just 30knt session to punch into 50mph is gonna be a gut check fo sho.

Yeah, Jeff, why don't you send that board back I loaned you for the pass around a couple years ago. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it, but it actually
belongs to Kip Lotz, the original importer and financier that payed for all of the manufacturing of Flexboardz. We'll have to start publishing all
of the manufacturing information and dealer cost if you don't. We have asked more than once. Just send it to the address where you received it from.

WOW, BLACKMAIL. Going to have to think about this one, better check my life insurance.
You have obvious decided to turn down my offer. Looks like you want to bring all this out for the public to get involved. Sure you don't want to talk

Don't know if troll or serious.
If this is actually flexboardz, then why aren't you using the flexboardz user ID?
THIS is flexboardz: http://www.powerkiteforum.com/member.php?action=viewpro&...
I have no idea who this user is. I feel it may be a member of flexboardz who told us all tall tales about the status of the product.
Frankly, this looks like it's about to be a PR meltdown, and Flexboardz hasn't had one of those since they made that Kip fella stop tellin us
incorrect info regarding arrival in the US.(I think one point he said piracy was involved?)
Whatever the hell happens, it'll be fun to watch. Hell, it's already fun to watch!
(All I know for certain is BKK put a team together and one rider has put out more flexboardz videos in 6 months than flexboardz has put out in 5
years)

I'm sorry....anyone made such a statement at my company, they'd be fired, some information is not to be shared

****SORRY STEVE FOR THE LACK OF _____ OF KIP LOTZ. *****
Just ignore the kid, to much to go into and nobody wants to hear about him.
Was good to see you at sunset with MY SON, hahahaha should have got a picture of the 2 of us.

to avoid any kind of misunderstanding, here is Flexboardz who's who on PKF:
-Flexboardz USA is the pseudo of the FORMER US importer of the Flexboardz products. He has no more relationship with Flexboardz... except a rest of
agressivity. In fact, he shouldn't use the Flexboardz usa pseudo anymore....
-Big Kid is the present US importer. As said above, he has done much more to promote the boards than anybody else. (it explains the former/present
importer situation)
-Flexboardz (me) is the "mother company" responsible for the boards development and manufacturing.
I hesitated to answer to avoid further trolling.... but I definitely prefer to avoid "unclear" situation
