Hi there, i would appreciate your help, i have an old bic vivace and would like to know what the difference between it and the bic veloce is

when i started sailing there was 3 main types of boards , slalom/race, waveslalom, wave, not sure what freeride etc means. basicly would the veloce be easier to turn,jump,ride small waves and wind swell, looking at a pic of it, the foot straps appear to be more onboard than they are on the vivace
cheers and thanks
