Looks really interesting. Got any pics of flexing the tail?
that is the allan gibbons board i mentioned in the “how important is flex” thread.
he has brought that into my work along with another flexy tail board hes been working on. the tails flex about 4-5" both ways, so they are pretty flexible, but rigid also…i think its a really cool idea, and it seems to work for him (from what he says).
hi SG !
…WHAT did he say , exactly ?
advantages ?
shortcomings ?
is he standing or kneeling on these boards ?
How many has he made , over what period of time ?
I would be very interested to hear from the guy . But , although I have re-registered at Surfer and logged on numerous times , for some reason I can’t post a reply there ? [annoying] .
Thanks Bernie …I DID see that board there , and of course , wanted to ask questions ! Maybe Allan will post here ? hope so !
cheers !

[my stringerless benzer bottom never really flexed [that I could feel , anyway !] …but it was too thick is probably why !! ]
he likes them alot, i cant remember what exactly he said, but he seemed pretty stoked with it. he was also making a thruster last time i checked, also.

I remember the Mitchell Rae Outer Island carbon fibre board I saw doing the same thing…
