Hi Guys,

Interested in everyones thoughts on how good the JP FSW boards are for actual freestyle?

Might sound like a bit of a strange question but i am picking up a 2010 102l pro edition of this board this weekend coming and i love a bit of blasting and bump n jump but i really want to learn how to vulcan first and then hopefuly move onto the spock but will this board limit me in any way or will learning just be a bit harder than on a dedicated freestyle board?

Also the stock fin that comes with this board is 29cm which seems fairly big so would anyone have any suggestions on a smaller fin size that would make learning the vulcan a bit easier?

As FletchHuz said... the 102 FSW will work for trying to get into doing some Freestyle moves.

RE the fin I would recommend you get two high performance fins:

1) for Freeriding

2) for Freestyle

I always found that you can get a bit more performance out of the JP boards using a good after market fin.

A lot of spinning freestyle moves are more about getting the technique right rather than having a 100% freestyle board.

Hi Stehsegler and FletcHuz,
Thank you both for the advice on the fin sizes, i was having a look at a couple in the shop today and they had a 24cm tabou freestyle fin, will these work OK with the JP do you think or should i opt for something like an MFC fin?

Not sure about the tabou... but I have had some good experience with MFC fins.
