The 2x stringered 8.0 with color and 6x6x6 oz glassing i have are both listed as a 2 for flex value. Same dims and shape, but the 5'11 with slightly wider tail and 3-4 liters less volume is definitely heavier than the 6'5".
I thought my 6'5" was crazy light so I'm not mad about it all. Makes me think maybe the 6'5 didn't get the full 6x6x6, but it looks immaculate after 30+ sessions so whatever.
I like thicker boards so durability and longevity are way more important than the neglible amount of flex would get from a 2.5-2.75" thick board in waves under 7 ft.
