Design and flex
My understanding is that flex keeps more of the board ( weather it's a ski, snowboard, sub deck or surfboard) on the riding surface, which translates to more speed... Very common in snow related, equipement..not so noticable or common in surfboard design.... A few very talented shapers have been designing boards with flex as a major component...for an experts explanation on this subject check out pendo.com..... Steve and cher pendarvis have created a beautiful new site.. Choke full of design talk, pictures, art, stories, and a blog ...do yourself a favor and check out their site, better yet demo a pendoflex surfboard, and smile as you flex through the tube...
