this is gonna turn into one big argument, i was in the same situation as you,

i was going to get the goya air, what is the freewave model, and it was to be mostly in the waves, and i still wanted early plaining and an all rounder. (also to be 75ltrs) but looking at the range i got the goya wave xr, what is the same width as the freewave but has more of a rocker and a thinner tail for the surf, and im really happy with it.

iv only taken it out a few times including smaller waves around shoulder hight, rolling ocean swell and its really good and iv taken it on the river for practice with tacking and it was great... the fin that comes with it is really nice, but if your wanting to make it even more alrounder you could go and get a freewave fin with it aswell for it.

and its light and strong full double carbon sandwidge and only 5.8kg

cant go past the JP real world wave, great alround waveboard and also the best board Ive ever used for freestyle. Definately worth a look

i've been riding the quatro freewave 95, it's a great board for when it's light, not to bad to wave ride, holds a nice clean bottom turn, doesn't hook round in the cutbacks to hard though, but it is 95 litres, great board for flat water too, that was my main reason i went for this board the 75 would be a sick little board, i've been thinking of trying the goya 1, read some great reviews on them..

But my "04" JP freestyle wave 91 was an awesome board too

errr what does freewave mean

i'm thinkin light wind wave board.....or wave board for fatties...or is ir real world....or is it onshore.....or another marketing gimmick....or freeride with a bit of wave capability.....or all of the above......confused.

as far as the 2008 models go for a wave board, i third that statement theyre quick, point high, and sliiiide. not even sure why they have a freestyle-wave model when the rw wave works so well

i'll tell you in a years time i'm pretty sure its ancient history, pre 2003. the barbed wire graphics versions were notoriously fragile, but sailed great for their time
