Would that be lateral, or longditudinal flex your referring too???

laceys lane said..
A mate and myself were discussing flex and fancied that on a longboard there is probably more happening because of sheer length alone.


Its how boards work god dam it

If you surf you flex your board

I agree with that 100%

Its definatly more of a consideration of guns and LB's than it would be on shorty's I reckon....my anecdotal evidence is that there would also be a diffenerce between and PU and epoxy

It's my understanding that the thick wooden stringer as demonstrated in this photo provides significant lateral flex properties.

With this particular model as its made incrementally longer, you will find the wobblier it gets, the wobble is what we refer to as flex. However no one has yet been able to pin point precisely the point where the wobble is generated (peak wobble apex)

In summary the shorter this model the less wobblier it is and the longer the model the wobblier it gets.


.....Ok you get one hit and your not allowed to break anything

Another gem from my mate.

Picked up a nice second hand board today off gumtree. Been searching for a long time for an adequate replacement for an old favourite and finally found one. Thanks to Tux who almost found me another. The lady is more greatful that he didn't

C,mon Ted, pics...

did you buy that 5'10 nano ted??

Nope but it was 5'10" !

Only touching those Nano's in FST - I think the 6'0" is my preferred size in that range

I had been tempted to see if you wanted to sell it back but then this one came up

No worries if you do, I did think about offering it back to you..

Welcome and looks like a nice board TZKev, I didn't even know they had that one in the range.

Should suit the variety of waves Newscastle throws up.
