Rode this with Apex, Boiler, and Donek plates.
The board itself was a solid performer, grippy, fun.
Similar range of turn shapes as the asym 180.
Never felt any nose flappage, could be due to difference in flex or the fact that I never happened upon a stance that was prone to it.
Getting in back seat w/ plate was more punishing and less entertaining.
Personally, I think I'd like a two-sidecut design such as an NSR 182 for a plate specific board better.
