I ride a decent amount of both boat and cable. After deciding to make the change to flex I'm not sure whether to go with the reflex or the recoil. I tried them both out on cable and slightly preferred the reflex, but I have heard that the recoil is great behind the boat. What are your opinions?
I rode both and personally I liked the recoil better. I only rode them at the cable but for me the recoil seemed to flex more, which in my opinion, was more fun. It also seemed to pop higher on my ollies and land softer off the kickers. I'm going to wait till the 2010 LF Henshaw comes out and try it before I make up my mind but right now the Recoil is my next board. Plus I'm sure the 3 stage will kick some tail behind the boat.
For winching the Reflex is dope, has a bit more flex on the tip and tail. Witch is rad for nose and tail presses. All 3 different boards SS has ride great. I always think like this(If I can stomp out a heel 5 with in a couple sets its good to go) I rode all 3 and landed heel 5's on all of them. Go with the one that looks the coolest.. They are all amazing boards
I stomped a grabbed toe 5 off the big kicker at mccormicks on both the reflex and recoil, and I have never been able to get it on my shane LTD so I guess either will work. But recoil it is! I'm pretty psyched about it and it hasn't even been shipped yet, so when it arrives I can't imagine how stoked I'll be!
