Classic, Magic Ride.

Great idea but it's also a bit of the marketing buzz board. RRD probably got in first with the FireMove. Now Starboard claims they were first with the Atom although apparently the market wasn't ready for their vision (even though it had no straps

) and now JP is jumping onto it too!
Anyhoots wesdawindat, I went through a similar thought process earlier this year. I wanted to get a board that put a bit more fun back into sailing but was still quick and still got me out in 6.4 weather. I like the idea of these new wide at the middle narrow tail boards but went for the tried and trusted FSW. Got a 102 Patrik and I've got nice air of waves with three straps and I've got good speeds in choppy conditions with four straps.
With a non cam sail or a twin cam I reckon either type of board will get you gybing better and will put a smile on your dial. You'll feel more confident in chop and that may lead to speeds close to a slalom board without the stains in your underwear
