Flexboardz....FINELY.....


Well to say the least, I was surprised. The Haize Flexboard is now in my hands. I am really holding it as I type. A bit late for some beach tryouts for the summer but It Is Here non the less.
I will be bringing it to SOBB if anyone is interested in trying it out.
After SOBB it will enter the "pass the board" for anyone who NOW wants to sign up, same rules apply for consideration of being on the list.
Estimated cost of shipping will be about 30 to 40 bucks, so keep that in mind.
I will try it out later this week when my rib protectors get here,(thanks coolbreeze for the look and see).

OK, got to play on the board, with out the kite. Did a bit of down hilling, on the streets, a bit of reminiscing of the olden days of longboarding.
2 big differences between the Flexboardz and my MBS boards is the feel of the height of the board and the length. Most of the ride was long down hill strait runs with a few corners, the board was more stable under my feet, like it was slower to my poor ability. I am not the best board rider but I can get from point A to B.
2nd, is the board holds the turns better, not as small of a turning radius as the MBS.
Now to be fair, I rode the board 2 times and I didn't do any adjusting on the suspension to suit the kites. For me it was a nice board to play on, not as high performance as the MBS, but then again I didn't set up the board for that.
Today, SOBB and the beach.
