I am on my second Never Summer Heist Power Flex because I am convinced that there is no better board out there for my style of riding. If you bomb hills, you'll be better off with something stiffer. If you slalom and do a lot of sidewalk surfing, you'll probably want something a lot quicker turning and a bit shorter (maybe with turned up nose and tail like the Bustin Maestro). If you are into dancing, this is actually pretty good but the flex can make it a bit less predictable. HOWEVER, you are are a hard charging carver, and someone who likes to get up to about 25mph and just lay down huge, snowboard style carves, you will not find a better board than this! I used to say this about the Lush Samba, which is also in my quiver, but the Never Summer is just a much more powerful board all-around. Enjoy.
