Flare 88

[aa25]

Hi,
I'm about 74kg and can spock, flaka, shaka, loop, etc so I'm really eying off the 88 in wood or possibly the new 2012 model. Will it be in wood and woodcarbon?

What's the minimum wind your pro team freestylers would use the 88 in and when would they switch to the 98? Last year I was doing well on a 4.5-5.0 and 100l freestyle board but it felt big at times. I have a 5.7 but don't really want to do much freestyle on that if possible.Would 5.7 still work on the 88?

From the photos it looks like Kiri uses the 88 in wood construction a fair bit which is 6.39kg, so I'm guessing wood is still fine for all the freestyle moves?
cheers
