Does anyone know about Lithe "Nex" decks? Should I try it over a Powell Flight?

I’ve been looking into the Nex for a while. It’s a composite construction but it uses fiberglass instead of carbon fiber so I’m assuming it won’t be as strong. One thing I don’t understand however is why there’s such a price difference for their Slate 3 which is $199 as opposed to $109 for the nex.

I love my flight decks. They hold their pop forever and are made in America by beautiful brown people in Santa Barbara. Y'all are a bunch of judgy bitches.

I've had a flight deck and it was great. It did eventually break, but a regular board would have broken 15 times by that point. I'm on an impact light right now. So far i like it, but can't speak to it's durability yet. Would be interested in trying a VX or a crail pop secret.

I’d rather cut my pinky off and eat it than buy either of those. I couldn’t picture myself skating a board I couldn’t focus with a cat on it

Real heavyweights do just the same at a same price as a pro deck.

I swear by them though they do break butttttttt they've lasted me 3 to 4 months heavy skate sessions at least 4 days a week. 

Regular board's although great I've been known to break nose off.

Haven't seen anyone talk about Lithe Nex though.

For good reason I'd wager...

Closest thing to a recommendation I found so far was from instagram @streetgenius

I ended up just ordering a Santa Cruz VX, mostly because the Nex decks are "on backorder," and I can't find a Flight deck available in 8.25 right now.

Aw man, you blew it. You should have went with the Popwar DropTech.
