after everybody on here was raving about the fling I had to get one when it popped up cheap. 5'6 GSI superflex, about 2l more than what I normally ride. been through a few lost grovellers in the last years (bottom feeder, puddle jumper, puddle fish, puddle jumper HP). They all had their moments, but I was never quite satisfied with either low end or performance. when picking up the fling for the first time I was a bit surprised about the hard edge quite far in front of the fins and the amount of double concave. when trying with my go to fins (fannings), I found it a bit sticky and not quite as fast as I had hoped. a smaller center fin significantly improved this. contrary to popular belief I found it's a lot of fun as a quad too....tried it as a 2+1 (fcs power twins) too, went great as well. kept switching back and forth till my set of h4s found me. struck gold, it's almost as if they combine the speed of the quad with the pivot of the thruster. super tech seems to be pretty epic too, board hit the boulders a few times and didn't even get a scratch.
