Caught up in the flex hype

I have been riding an 08 faction board with 08 faction boots since 2008 and want to change it up this year. All these flex boards have really caught my eye and it just makes sense to me.
I was thinking about the CWB Vibe with Answers, but am now thinking otherwise.
I like how smooth off the wake the faction is but I am wanting somthing faster on the water. Also the boots were ok. I want a boot with support, but at the same time plenty of flex for poking out grabs.

What would you guys recommend in a flex board for a board like that?

Thanks
