| Aloha from Kauai. Took delivery on a Vega Flex two weeks ago and wanted to share my experiences so far. First let give my paddling background so you know where I am on the paddling curve ,and how appropriate my comments may be for you. | Aloha from Kauai.

| So why the Flex? I knew Kai Bartlett was trying to create a ski that surfed more like a one man (OC1). I love surfing my Ares and knew if he could create a ski that had some of those features I was in. | So why the Flex?

| The footwell is lower volume so less water to drain and gives you solid contact on your lateral lower legs for better stability in bigger conditions. But still big enough for my 12C feet and future booties in PNW. Has single venturi drain. | The footwell is lower volume so less water to drain and gives you solid contact on your lateral lower legs for better stability in bigger conditions.

| I don't have any flat water feedback but I'm guessing the Flex can hold her own with the top intermediate skis. | I don't have any flat water feedback but I'm guessing the Flex can hold her own with the top intermediate skis. | ||
