The problem I always have when I go into any boardshop and looking at the latest/greatest boards is that most all of them have a linguini-soft flex (and are 159cm and shorter). I realize that part of the problem is that I'm shopping at a snowboard shop for a board that I can ride plates on instead of buying a Donek, Prior, Coiler, or perhaps, a Tanker online.
But, are there currently any twin-tip boards being produced (by manufacturers who advertise in TWS, for instance) which have moderately to high stiff flex and come in 168cm and above lengths? I don't want to buy a board that's going to fold in half when I try to carve with it. Anybody out there riding a stiff twin-tip from Ride, Forum, Burton, etc.?
I don't have a problem waiting for a Donek, etc. if there isn't a board such as I have described available.
