Interesting that they've dropped the 75cm fuselage for the freeride foil setup, and moved to the 95+.
Ive tried the 1100/550 wings on a 95+ fuselage, even with the -2 deg shim, it's so front footed to make it a undesirable combination
Maybe the 550 tw has less angle built in now ?
No news of the slalom wings or slalom fuselage either.
Considering it's a modular platform, with a multitude of possibilities Starboards marketing and relevant information isn't the best.

Do you think they changed the 95+ fuselage since 2020 or is it still exactly the same?
Also they put some descriptions for possible upgrades depending on each kit on the SB-foil website - thats good. Kind of a must-have for a modular plattform!

I wonder about the PLUS designation for the 95+ fuselage. Since they had moved the mast connection point further aft for the 115+ versus the 115 (minus the PLUS), I wonder whether they did that as well for the 95+ versus for the former 95.
If so, that might explain why the foil is so front-foot-heavy as mentioned above. The PLUS moves the front wing further forward of the mast connection point.
My Moses Race 900 has the front wing so much further forward that I have to stand in front of the footstraps and ride strapless. It works, but I prefer to be in the footstraps. The mitigation to all of this is to foil with big race sails that have enough sail mast base pressure to balance the more-forward wing.

I don't think the 550 tail is designed for the + fuselages. Even the 330 is a bit big.
