"holy stiff!"

last season I was looking for a stiffer all mountain board. A buddy recommenddd this board to me. First thing I noticed when I unboxed was how stiff it was. I know handflexing isnt the best way, but I was already concerned. I took it up to my local hill after a storm to try it out. It held an edge really well, and floated through the powder pretty well. However since it was so stiff, I felt like it did not land in the pow too well. I also thought it popped different than most boards, kind of like I had to be aware of exactly what I was doing, amd could not just ollie at will. the board wasnt horrible, but way too stiff for me. I even found it stiffer than my 2005 never summer which is basically a door.
