SHAPER's HOT SEAT: George Gall

George,

Could you tell us what you think about flex in surfboards.  How does it affect performance?  How  would full length-board flex (lateral) affect performance? How would performance be affected with tail flex only? Lateral vs. torsional tail flex, or both?  How would you incorporate flex into a build?

You made this comment about flex awhile back.  Could you elaborate/explain in a little more detail?

I recognize these these are broad and sweeping questions.

Thanks for your consideration.
