Question on Liquid Force FLX Hybrid board for air tricks

[javijavit]

Can anyone provide me feedback as to how the liquid force FLX or Deluxe Hybrid boards release of the water and land specifically for air tricks on the cable park?

I ride rails but like to do the occasional air tricks around the cable corners but am concerned about how these softer boards will edge and pop off the water and how soft the landings will be. Anyone have one of these that can give me some feedback?

Not trying to hijack, but could someone please explain what shapes/features make a board good or bad at releasing or air tricks? How are cable-specific boards like CTRLs designed to be ideal for air tricks as opposed to a traditional "boat board" like the LF S4? How much of an effect does this have? Is there a noticeable difference?

I just started doing air tricks and I don't yet understand exactly what goes into them and how they work.

I kiteboard a lot and basically there you always do air tricks popping from flat water and what I've learned is that stiff between the feet and partially flexible tips that can be loaded are best. The flexible tips spring you back when loaded against the flat water. Unlike wakeboarding that you use the wake against a stiff board to pop you up. So I know that for flat tricks some tip flex is great but if its too soft you will loose pop so there is a line and that basically brings me to the first question on these FLX or Deluxe boards. kiteboards usually have some carbon stringers to make the flex more lively.
