[Donek Flux]

Thanks for the feedback, John!  Looking forward to getting on a Flux and experience what I've been hearing about from so many people.

Hey John,

I'm pretty new on here and have found myself leaning towards a Flux.  Last year I had Sean make a Knapton twin for me and realized I'm simply too old to keep riding freestyle and really want to continue Softboot carving.  The Flux is my next move and I'm curious how its been treating you lately.  Any thoughts are appreciated.

I gotta ask man - why are you giving up on riding switch?

I suck at switch. I know if I went with more rocker type boards it would be easy but that would kill my carve and I love that too much.  So I’ve actually been considering a Knapton Donek - now here you are giving up, and it makes me wonder if I should even try?  Though I’ve been skiing and boarding all my life, at 44, I’m no spring chicken anymore.  So can you expand on why you are giving up? Thanks so much in advance!

I suck at switch as well.  The reason I purchased this board is because I was overconfident about my abilities and was very inspired by Ryan's videos.  The first 3 days on the Knapton Twin with a 28cm waist will humble you either direction you ride it.  It's almost like you're learning for the first time.  After 3 days it was the most fun I've had on a board...except it is super aggressive and will throw you on your face if you haven't mastered a switch stance.  

If you have mastered switch this is a phenomenal board to play around with when riding freestyle.  However, there are boards out there that truly lend themselves to a directional, surfy, free riding experience and that's what I'm moving towards.  I realized I need a VSR to accomplish contentment. 

For some, the Knapton is where it's at.  For me, its a little out of my comfort zone.

I'm sadly departing with my Donek Kapton Twin.  I purchased it at the end of last season (17-18).  Its in great condition as I only took it out about 7 days.  The only reason I want to part with it is that I've recently decided that I can't lie to myself about riding switch anymore.  I'm making the move to a directional board that I can focus on carving groomers and not chase the dream of putting on a show.  Check out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSf2blWn3fKJmjtZQOMfsGw for what this board was designed for.

The board is a fantastic carver and great for someone that wants to ride freestyle and also lay down deep carves.  Check out the specs below and I'm happy to send more pics and info.  I live in Boulder, CO and will drive to meet up or discuss shipping for out of state options.  $475 + shipping
