both are sweet boards, from what I have seen of the flying pan is that the wood that they use is quite soft and seems to chip away a little easier then maple or bamboo seems to.

 

but saying that I love the feel of the feel of the foot platform on the flying pan.

 

am yet to ride the new topmount GLYDE but have ridden a few of glydes boards in the past and they are solid and now much lighter.

 

will need to get the full run down from Benbro for the GLYDE but I know it will be AEWSOME. will be getting one for myself very soon.

Fibretec would be more freeride.
It is dropped and symetrical. Glyde would be more DH based.
It's got assymetrical cave and shape.

Yeah i was just saying in general. For half of the questions you get on here that would be a major factor.
The deck looks sick. And if he really wanted Ash/Pete might do him up a symetrical type one for a bit more $
