I have recently acquired used supertech fling, and have had several of the superflex. Def a little less flex and more stiffness but i really like it, has the fling spice and durability seems top notch. Very light but not corky.
epic response, thanks @lex

now for dims.. the OG I had was probably a little under volumed for me 180lbs 5.10 and the board at 5.4 that I think was around 28L (the volume didn’t bother me at all at the time)

I’m thinking 5.8, 20 1/4, 2 1/2

I think my custom fling is 5'8 x 20 3/8 x 2 1/2" and 32.4 (?) liters

I'm 180-185 and generally ride a little extra foam to account for the 5/4 suit.

It feels about right. I would probably go thicker if I ordered another one. Given that I only really surf it when the waves are small crap.

Thanks Aruka. I almost never wear a full suit where I live now, so will keep it at 2 1/2 I think.

Might go wider like yours and opt for the hippy

Akura, do you ever have paralysis of choice with all those boards?

How do you get over that

and how do you adjust so well if you switch so often?

my buddy is getting along with his fling pretty well. he sure hates it when I ask him if he's riding his fishnet stockings though.

Yeah sometimes it's hard to choose. I usually have 3-4 boards for different conditions that stay in my truck and I might rotate one or more out over a week. I don't struggle with switching boards too much usually, especially if it's something I've go some time on. The more different boards you ride the better you get at adjusting to differences, I think.

Fishnet is durable and has great pop. When I was emailing with Koons (he stopped responding, must be too busy), he said he could airbrush the bottom (and top) to minimize the fishnet. I was going to spray the bottom dark navy/gray and the deck light blue.

Anyone paint the fish net all white?

ive seen some FF flings used here and there but they are usually pretty haggard yellow.

That fishnet looks kooky as hell. Whenever I eventually cave to erBB influence and get a Fling I'd have to spray over it.
Not to derail our 43rd Fling thread, but Joji, the guy I've been emailing with at Akila, does pretty sweet looking sprays over the glass in HI. Lots of other examples if you scroll through his pics. Basically just spray + clearcoat like others have done on here, but his look great- been taking some inspiration to give it a shot DIY soon.
