Has anyone constructed/used a surf rod utilizing a North Fork Composite blank? Impressions?

I tried to get info about them directly from North Fork and this forum without luck. I have a feeling the two lighter rated rods will be too moderate for my liking even though all three are rated fast .

I've built several jigging rods using their blanks and was impressed with their quality but found them softer/more flexible than blanks from other manufacturers with same line weight and lure ratings.

I have no doubt at all that they're top quality i just despise blanks that are considered " softer/more flexible " as you mentioned . For the price they are selling at right now, if i liked that type of blank i would jump on it .
