Actually, one further question. I have three of the squash tail 9'0". All three are fst. One has black lettering and markings. One has blue. One has green. The black one is significantly heavier than the other two, despite it being the only one of the three that has never been patched. I suspect it is older. Are the older ones heavier? And if I special order new ones, is it safe to assume they will be the lighter versions?
Yeah that's safe. Without knowing a lot about that board, chances are it was built with a heavier lamination... new longboards are also built in our crossfire tech which helps optimize weight and durability...

Even in the FST boards? All three of mine are FST. I guess it must just be the lamination then.
yeah older FST versions did have different lams. We actually don't build our longboards in FST anymore except for customer special orders.
Cheers

Thanks! I just contacted my local shop to custom order two FSTs.
Anyone surfing these, try the FCS PC-CRV fins with a small center trailer. Easy floaters off the lip on a 9'!
Hello,
Have you changed the tail of 9.1 flexflight squash to moon?why?
Because it did not work well?

hey Gizona,
we did change it because it actually is a better build and uses a little less balsa so it adds less weight. Its a bit of an aesthetic update and looks siiiiiiiiiiick. Because its on a 9'1, you aren't going to feel a huge difference from the swallow...
face lift baby.
Cheers!
