Flux received... Disappointed... I ordered a board with the "ready to ride tune" addon : not waxed, no tip/tail edge detune... I ordered a board with the "secret construction" addon : impossible to know if it has been built with that or not... Custom board, but not what I ordered !!! For such a high price, I am really disappointed

Board ordered, have to wait... impatient !! I will share my feelings ! Thanks all for your advices...

Thanks ! You think that length sounds good or should I go a little more ? (169 / 170)

I ride in the Alps (France). It could be very steep ! I have a good level, 20 years of snowboarding, aggressive ride, speed and carve...

@Jack M@dredman I am about to finalize my order (donek flux ~168cm). The Flux without customization comes with 8.5-10m SR. I would like a bigger SR for high speed carved turns. I am wonderring if I should go with 10.5-12m SR to keep the 1.5m standard difference between max/min or if it would be better to reduce this difference to 1m (10.5-11.5m or 11-12m).

Regarding variable sidecut radius, is it better to have a big difference or a small one ? 10m-12m (2m) or 10m-11m (only 1m)

Hi @pegtal I try to ride during the weeks there is the less people. I ride essentially on big domains, with larges pistes. A typical day is 60km of downhill. Lot's of high speed runs.

@dhamann The standard construction of the Flux is damper than other boards (Incline) with rubber reenforcements. You think the secret construction addon would bring even more and is a good choice ? @Jack M You wouldn't go with a larger sr ?

@dhamann I think : 75% high speed gs carves 15% trying extreme carve and "c" shaped carves 5% powder 5% play with border of pistes

Thanks ! Lot's of things to think about !!! I use to ride with a 63cm duck stance. Have you an idea of the corresponding value if I go with a double positive stance ?

@staples156 What are the spec of your Flux ? (length, radius, reference stance) How tall are you ? And weight ? Did you take the standard flex ? And what about secret construction ?

@staples156 Nice video ! With lots of advices ! I will try to change my angles... try 0 / 21 and see... @Neil Gendzwill Yes. I will try one more time if double positive could work for me...

@nextcarve I already tried forward stance, but I really prefer duck stance (around -9 / +24). I am 43 years old, 190cm 100kg, I am not a freestyler, even if I sometimes like to play with the border of the pistes. I love high speed runs, with carved turns. I want to improve my carving to extreme carving. A typical day is about 50km of downhill, max speed 90km/h. When it is possible (conditions ok), I love powder. But this is rare... I like to make little jumps on the piste during the ride (slope break or little bumps). Icy conditions, with steep pistes, I like to hard engage and play with the limits.

Nota : Donek info "A flux in 162cm length is typically going to have a variable sidecut radius that starts at 8 1/2 m in the shovel and progresses to 10 m in the tail."

@Jack M @dhamann This is what Sean replied : "You're asking questions about Dimensions that have subtle differences. It's very difficult for me to advise they have never watched Ride On what they should get." I thought I would have the opportunity to try a Donek Incline 175 next week but not... that sucks ! I will have to make a decision without. Below, the sidecut radius dimensions (from 9.5-11m to more) to get up to 31cm waist width (with 165cm / 164cm / 163cm / 162cm) : Flux 165cm : 9.5-11m, 30.2cm 9.7-11.2m, 30.3cm 9.9-11.4m, 30.4cm 10.1-11.6m, 30.5cm 10.3-11.8m, 30.6cm 10.5-12m, 30.7cm 10.7-12.2m, 30.8cm 10.9-12.4m, 30.9cm 11.2-12.7m, 31cm Flux 164cm : 9.5-11m, 30.3cm 9.7-11.2m, 30.4cm 9.9-11.4m, 30.5cm 10.1-11.6m, 30.6cm 10.3-11.8m, 30.7cm 10.5-12m, 30.8cm 10.8-12.3m, 30.9cm 11-12.5m, 31cm Flux 163cm : 9.5-11m, 30.3cm 9.6-11.1m, 30.4cm 9.8-11.3m, 30.5cm 10-11.5m, 30.6cm 10.2-11.7m, 30.7cm 10.4-11.9m, 30.8cm 10.6-12.1m, 30.9cm 10.8-12.3m, 31cm Flux 162cm : 9.5-11m, 30.4cm 9.6-11.1m, 30.5cm 9.8-11.3m, 30.6cm 10-11.5m, 30.7cm 10.2-11.7m, 30.8cm 10.5-12m, 30.9cm 10.7-12.2m, 31cm Subtle differences, but : * at what point does the sidecut radius become too large for the board to maintain agility ? * how small can the board be reduced so that it remains very stable at high speeds ? What could you suggest me, keeping in mind that I am 190cm tall and weigh almost 100kg ?
