I've been sailing 20+ years but only recently have been trying to get more into freestyle stuff and my current board is feeling not quite up to the task.

Weight: 70kg
Most common sail size: 4.7 - 5.5 (the 5.5. sees the most use)
Conditions: mostly flat water
Current board: 2002 RRD TwinTip S 95L (I love this board but it's pretty narrow compared to the modern FS boards)

Deals I'm looking at:
1) local secondhand 2012 RRD Freestyle Wave 102
2) demo 2022 Future Fly Tamado 91 (3x the cost of option 1 but still way cheaper than new)
3) ???

So I'm wondering if the 100L board would be better, or a more modern board. I have a feeling the answer might be both e.g. a more modern 100L board, but would love advice!

I I would stick with 90l. I'm 75kg and find a 90l spot on, typically on a 4.8 and down for freestyle. I'm pretty sure the more modern boards now have more volume to the rear with the more compact shapes.

Thanks for the replies! The consensus certainly seems to be 90l, so that's what I'll go for.

Looking at either FF Tamado 91 or Severne Psycho 3 94 at this point.

I have always had 100l freestyle boards at 90kg. the upside is that i can get going in less than 15kts with a 5.7.

The downside is thats its a handful at 25kts

Keen to get your thoughts once you've demoed.

wish we had demo gear available.
