    Welcome to the fish!

    Both decks have a following.

    The Flexdeck will be heavy for its size,

    Both will benefit from smaller wheels.

    The bustin spliff is 20% off until 11:59 tonight.

    The spliff is longer and stiffer, If it were me I would grab the spliff. I see it as more versatile and I just think I would prefer it myself. I think the spliff has a unique camber, the flex clear is flat. The spliff has versatile truck mounting holes, the clear does not. The spliff is also gonna be more versatile and easy to customize rfor your own realy unique board right off the bat.

    Take into account size. 31 vs. 29
    Materials (flex, durability)
    Price The clear is 185, with all of the bustins cheapest components the spliff comes out to 180, and for about 20 bucks more you get nicer wheels, bearings, and trucks.

    So now its really up to you to pick, I would go spliff but thats just me.
    Thank you 8ftbed, YOU ARE THE BEST!

    Quiver:
    Earthwing Superglider 38", Randal R-II's 180, Dano's 70mm Wheels, ABEC 7 Bearings

    All very true. There really is something to be sad to having your own paint job.
