Soundings VI: A Question of Flex
Interviews and Portraits by Devon Howard and Andrew Kidman

This text is excerpted from the contents on the TSJ web page for the issue: Like the weather, if seems that while everybody talks about flex nobody does anything about it. That’s been our read anyway. We gathered a Genius Congress of shapers—not a one of them interested in a stiff sled—and quizzed them relentlessly. Directly from the horses’ mouths’—with no editorial opinions or hang-ups—the men in the trenches drop science. Join Reynolds Yater, Mitchell Rae, Shawn Ambrose, Sage Joske, Timmy Patterson, Steve Pendarvis, and Bert Berger as they delve into microtopics including flexy vs. floppy, snapback memory, tension and release, and a stunning revelation: it might not be alternative materials leading the flex avant garde after all.

A sincere thank to the Surfer’s Journal, Devon and Andrew, for this excellent design article with interviews of these innovative shapers, Reynolds Yater, Mitchell Rae, Shawn Ambrose, Sage Joske, Timmy Patterson, Steve Pendarvis, and Bert Berger.
