Term
Torsional flex
The board's capacity to twist along its length.
GLOSSARY · Movement & mechanics
Torsional flex is how easily the board twists, with the nose and tail tilting differently. A torsionally soft board can be steered by rolling one foot more than the other; a stiffer board holds an edge more evenly along its length.
Context and distinction
Torsional flex is twisting; longitudinal flex is bending nose to tail. Torsional twist is the movement that uses torsional flex.
