Flex board

So I had been hearing a lot about flex boards but what was really peaking my interest was the claim that they made landings softer. Looking to get maximum wakeboarding life out of my knees i picked up a discounted slingshot at a boat show this winter. It was amazing! I was not a huge fan of the way it felt on the water but that was minor compared to how much softer it made my landings. I reccomend trying a flex board if you have not yet. Anybody else had a similar experience?
