    Default Apex 37 Flex Question.

    Ok, so I was originally going to buy an Apex 37 in the middleweight flex, but after reading some stuff I think I might want to "weight" (haha, pun intended) for the cruiserweight. I weigh about 135-140 lbs, and I don't want it to bottom out. What are the weight limits on the cruiserweight flex? How flexy would it be if I got a cruiserweight with my weight? I wouldn't mind if it was a little stiff so just toss me some feedback!!! Thanks!

    just go for the stiffer of the two flex's your considering, worst come to worst you have a stiffer board which i would rather have than a wet noodle of a board

    It's too flexy for my 185lbs.
    For like 150lbs it may be fine. It's up to you and your preferation. my friend is 140, and he can bottom it out if he wants to.

    Yeah, I'll definitely put up a review when I get it. I think I'm going to wait for the cruiserweight to get back in stock. I'd rather have it a little stiff then bottom it out all the time...

    dude, I have a middle weight and I weigh like 150. I have never bottomed out while riding normally, (carving/dancing/sliding). I did bottom it out when I used it as a trampoline to do a back flip ...... so it's really up to you but I wouldn't worry about bottoming out. it's a really fun board, I love mine.

    It's usually best to go for a stiffer board. Flexy boards get old fast.

    I weigh 125 and I bottom the middle weight out easily if I jump on it. It is great while riding though, and i have never bottomed out on accident.

    Well, I think they're getting cruiserweights in sometime soon so if they run out of middleweights hopefully I'll have other options. I really don't think it matters which one I get lol...I'm just so indecisive.
