I am looking at other options for my fanatic skate 108 te. I have owned 5 versions of it over 15 years. I love the board because it is quite fast, turny , and stable . Does freeriding to freestyle quite well. I was thinking of the 2021 fanatic freewave in the 105 to replace it . My goal is to still be able to do my basic freestyle moves like vulcans , jump gybes, lay down 360's, shove its, and maybe learn new tricks but be able to enjoy some small to medium ocean sailing.
Most of my sailing on the skate is in a bay.
I am torn because I love the skate , but am uncertain is the freeewave will be able to deliver on what I love about it and add to that with more turny, jumping and more control in chop and still do my freestyle but add a little more ocean sailing to the mix.
Currently my board quiver:
2019 jag 125
2019 skate 108 te
2020 freewave te 95
2015 freewave te 85
2012 freeewave te 75
I weigh 195 lbs
my 108 is my most used board and go to board out of the quiver. I mainly run a 4.7, 5.2 and 6.2 on it .
should I stick with skate or go with freewave?
Thanks
