What is meant by flex?
This is the way a board tends to twist. At Stone we evaluate it from 0 to 10. The stiffer a board is, the more it is designed to send & less forgive. Conversely, the softer a board is, the less responsive it will be when relaunching but will forgive you certain mistakes. Let's explain: at the start, the softer a board is, the more over the sessions the board will become a real uncooked sausage. At Stone we consider that riding a board that is a little stiff at the start is really optimal. Why? The core of a board is always made over the days, weeks, months that you ride your board. At Stone, a Flex 7 is considered a good alternative to go everywhere. We will then gravitate between 6 & 8 to lean more or less towards a particular desire as regards the flex.
Flex 7: This is our standard at Stone. This flex is playful, a little more punchy than the 6. On an all mountain board it will allow you to go on all terrains without hesitation. A board with response. Not too soft, not too stiff. A good compromise. On splitboards it is always better to have a board that is a little stiff in the conversions.
