Could a parabolic stringer render the same flex/return as a compsand/firewire? I am seeing some really neat boards being built with the parabolic stringers. Has anybody ridden both?
I have a firewire…
I ride P stringers on my flex-o-matics.
Adding them to a stiff paneled board doesnt do much, except maybe balance the stress distribution better when loads are high.
Adding them to a flexible panel…now youre getting somewhere.
Then add in some tuned flex fins…yaoweee!
Proper finning is half of it.
Btw, the FWs I recently saw didnt have a lot of rail wood in them.
The Firewires come with “Springers” don’t they ?
