I'm trying to learn on a high aspect foil, 1 metre mast, bolted to a twintip board.
I know that's not a beginners set up, but anyway, the board has some flex and I reckon it makes my life even harder when trying to steer the board. But because I never tried another board I can't say how much it flexes compared to others. How are the boards you guys are using regarding flex? Am I right thinking that the less flex the better?
All I can say is that this board bends more than my XCaliber twintip, and that's not even a carbon fibre board.

Absolutely. Make some sort of plate to stiffen the whole thing up if you really can't be bothered getting a proper board.

As what everyone else said. This type of board will really slow your progress and cause you more frustration than it's worth. Once you learn and get muscle memory, you will be able to ride just about anything.
