In Depth BC Eel Review

[Bryant@BCLongboards]

The new gen Eels are much, much flexier. Comparable to a Dervish.

Wrong, there is not a single 2010 Eel out there.

Actually, aren't there just a few? But then, don't you own all of them?

The eel has pretty subtle flex because it is a freeride oriented board. So in your terms it would be medium. If you want more flex you should email info@bclongboards.com or look into the swordfish which is flexier and more carving/dancing centered. I wrote a review of that board on the fish also. Hope that helps, thanks

Thanks for the help! I really love the shape of the Eel though. It would still be a nice carving board though wouldnt it? I'm sure if I do decide on this board, which looks very cool, I would want to do some customizing...Does this cost a lot more to do?

Also, I'm not sure how much it will help me, but if you were to compare the flex of the Eel to that of a different board, which board(s) would it be?

its FREE... well unless you want unicorn fibers and lunar dust.

how much for the unicorn fibers and lunar dust? i didn't even know you guys offerred that stuff.

[virtualdude]

Oh yeah. The Unicorn Fibers really add to the flex nature of the board while making it extremely strong and light. They're similar to Carbon Fibers but rather than rigidity, they're flexy! YUM!! I'll see if I can dig up a link on it and post it...

The Lunar Dust is this new compound that they mix into the heat transfer laminate that retains light energy which is awesome in the dark because it glows this really cool orangish red light. One good charge and it's on for hours, although it fades noticeably after about an hour or so.

That's wicked! If I were to be so inclined could I get in contact with you guys about this now (since i might wanna be doing some custom stuff) or should I just be patient and wait till these boards are out and on sale again? Either way is absolutely fine. I think I've been 100% convinced as to what I'm gonna get

BASports works as part of the BCL Team. He wrote some reviews of the boards he has been riding and testing. They were excellent, so we have included them on the website. Pretty cool!

Chris Gulliver is the MAN!! ......don't you forget it!

Oh, didnt realize lol. My bad, I have some questions, if I place an order and choose to get a custom created design on it. Where do I design it?

You buy one! so you can show them their overpriced breakable poshits suck compared to an eel. :]

[not to hate on loaded, but ive seen a lot of **** happen to them]

EDIT: I dont like their decks. i enjoy their wheels though

[Legit]

How much are the Unicorn Fibers?

[paintskater925]

do u guys think the eel is better than the earthwing supermodel?

[RFV Boarder]

do u guys think the eel is better than the earthwing supermodel?

Better at what? Or for what?

[paintskater925]

Better at what? Or for what?

better for sliding, carving, some downhill (nothing over 20mph), and maybe some dancing. im gonna have some indy 215 with retro freerides in lemon on either board i pick
