I need a replacement board for my u-frame stand. Is the Frontier III or the Fibre Dive more flexible? I see mixed reviews on that.

I would call the S.R. Smith customer service number which you can get via google and speak to someone about the differences. Also, you need to make sure that your existing base has the correct holes which need to be measured. We bought a replacement and went with the less expensive option because it has MUCH more flex and are very happy with it. We do run a risk of it cracking more easily, but no problems yet, and a really stiff board just isn't fun so we are happy we switched.

Not sure of the difference between the two but the one we bought is very flexible. We have 200lb. divers jumping off and it is very flexible.

definitely go with flex 2 I'm around 140 and got flex 2 and i wouldnt want the board to be any more flexible than it already is. For you i think the choice is more between flex 1 or flex 2 and if you want the more flexible feel of the 2 i would say flex 2 all the way

Yes, it's the same. It's flexibly, yet sturdy & durable. Without the hefty price tag. My daughter rides it on a daily basis & she said the ride is very smooth. I'm totally satisfied. I even purchased 2 other boards for my sons. Hope that helps!

No way, man. If you're just starting out and want a foamy, you're going to want a much longer board with better buoyancy:weight. They are expensive, so I suggest renting for a few days and get smart on the characteristics of the board, what length works for you, what's best for your wave conditions, etc.

Not officially, but if you're really interested in strength I'd highly recommend the Stealth PBO. It's far, far stronger, and also much smoother. It's maybe $150 more, and well worth it.

The firba buffers are ok. The only thing wrong with this -is you use 20 buffers to one ROCK and you can not buy the bufferwheels without the Rock.Buy this at harbor freight for 10-15 dollars cheaper.Dr.Kel

if you go to S.R. Smith and use the board to stand guide it will list which product fits which stand. I also found this guide or a link to it on some of the pool suppliers that carry/represent S R Smith products. My specific stand needed a board with holes 12" apart and the replacement board by S R Smith was pre-drilled, came with new mounting hardware, and replaced my old board perfectly. My general impression was that it was all about which stand you have and which boards fit that exact stand. Once you get that figured out you're golden.

Have no idea how to answer--don't know the model numbers, only the names of the products. We now have an AE Expedition model and my husband and I both like this Advanced Frame better for weight and handling but the Expedition model has more leg room. It is just not any faster or better handling than the Advance Frame and it is heavier. Oh it also has a nicer seat but that could be ordered separately and put in the Advanced Frame-and I think that seat is just fine. Sorry can't answer better. These are all we have tried of the inflatables.

I would get a different board honestly. This thing has way to much flex that it was scratching the ground in the middle even with 1/2" risers which eventually led to it snapping in half. To answer your question though any standard size longboard trucks (9") with 70mm or bigger wheels will work.

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

I have a u-frame and it bolted right up. Mine came with the stainless steel hardware, I bought it in 2013. The only complaint I have is that it is a little slick when it gets wet. Our other S.R. Smith Frontier was not.

Not sure about the difference but the SUP version probably has wider supports the supports are at least as wide as my SUPs.

I like my 31" cruiser long board better. It's easier to ride no hang ups on anything

This is a great board. It's not as flexible as some I've had, but it is definitely worth every penny.

The better the board the fewer the bounce it's I think. These are better than the long tips though. My favorite tips are the Tefo x tips they are a little longer but very sturdy!
