    I will def always keep the FST tater in the quiver 4 sure just because of its extreme ruggedness.

    I've got a 2 year old rapidfire Spitfire that's still going great though. A few little patch ups but they still hold up great and are super light!

    Thanks. So RF is basically like a regular construction epoxy board or perhaps a little bit stronger in terms of wear and tear?

    The bamboo layer is stronger, but the rails and bottom are just epoxy, fibreglass and EPS foam so they will be the same as other EPS/Epoxy boards.

    Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!

    My experience with the Bamboo deck (on my first Spitfire) was on par with a PU board. It seemed very soft and there wasn't much deck left that didn't have a pressure ding on it. But I am very rough on my boards.

    It doesn't help if you're a big unit.
    That's the thing with forums.
    One guy (a lightweight) can be commenting and saying how they only have "light heel denting" or "deck is still perfect" and then a heavyweight can be be putting big footwells in the same kind of deck.
    That's why we all should fill in our stats.
    If only I could figure out how to do it.
    For me, the fst is the stronger option at my weight (92kgs), when chasing durability.
