If you are looking at Flare 98 for say 5 to 6m weather and you have a wave board for smaller sales. Then I would go the freestyle board. Don't get me wrong I loved my old 2009 Kode 94. It was great freestyle/wave board for medium wind jumping, but I now have a 2011 Kode 86 and I now use the Flare 98 as my bump and jump single foot strap blasting board. Having a freestyle board in you kit for days that are abit up and down allows you more time on the water and there are quick to.
