Bob, what you get with a Firemove is more shlog stability and planing power than a freestyle wave. And the ability to carry bigger fins with the wider tail with straps hiked out, but it sacrifices the turning ability of a freestyle wave. It does have a less technical jibe than required for an X-Fire, but sacrifices some speed to do that.

Bob, for me I like the performance of freestyle wave boards in combination with wave sails. But that's limited to 6.9 and smaller sailing.

Bob, It's fun, user friendly, and planes up like crazy. You'll have to see if Uta will let you take it for a spin. I don't have any experience with 8.5 sailing. You could fire-up a topic in the Gear forum here and let folks weigh in on board recommendations.

Reid how do you like the RRD Firemove? I'm looking for a fun & fast freeride board that I can uphaul a 8.5 sail. Do you or anyone else have any board recommendation?
