Ski Flex Index
Ski Flex Index:
A standard flex is “0”. Softer skis (use -1, -2) tend to ride a little deeper or push more water, making them feel “slower”. Skis that are stiffer (+1, +2) tend to ride higher and “faster”.

Re: Ski Flex Index
I'd probably give the radar a "0" since it's a 66, the D3's a -1 rating due to the soft mid #'s and the size of ski.
The F1's of yore +2.0, My blue/red 67.5 Sixam 1.0 is a +2 - man that thing is stiff.
