    Question Please reply!!! need opinion!!

    my friend just got the dragonfly from insect for crusin. it has a really nice response for a crusin board. I was thinking about geting the bamboo city bomber because it is a lot smaller and easier to take places. However, because it is 32" im afraid it might respond like a slalom board if i get the flex im in right now (150-200). should i go up to 200-250 or stay in my zone?

    im not really familiar with it but...if you got the flex your in right now...ya, it would definitely be touchy. and if you go up a flex then it would obviously be less responsive

    First, a slalom board would typically (these days) be stiff or very firm. Second, I think you should go with the flex that matches your weight if you like a flexy board, and go up one if you'd like your board to be more firm. They're just guidelines, not rules.
