What exactly is the difference in soft vs hard flex in boards? I know soft is for park, jib, etc. and hard for carving, back country, etc. but why? What does it do? Just curious.

A softer board is for park because it bends easily and is consequently easier to press and poppier because it can be ollied easier. While a hard flex is for carving and backcountry because it is more stable at higher speeds.

softer boards lock onto rails better also. much more playable also, more fun to ride imo

My fun kink is super uber soft i practice everynight on it outside on a bench ollieing off and doing 360s would be cool to be able to practice forward flips and if i could land them with out moving but i need some speed .
