Last year, the Flare 93 became 2.5 cm wider and the Flare 103 became 3 cm wider. Both boards also saw their lengths reduced by 2.5 cm for a more balanced, more compact and more reactive board.The result is a board that provides plenty of stability in both planing and sub-planing conditions, making it easy for intermediate to advanced freestylers alike.New Drake by LSD fin, fitting in the new US box developed by Remi Vila that’s only 5.5 inches long and weighs 70 grams.Fin sizes also go up one centimeter compared to last year to improve early planing, speed and pop.Extra thick tail makes for a more comfortable stance, easier reverse slide moves and overall a more forgiving freestyle board.Rails are soft in the mid-section to improve comfort without affecting speed, but also provide more smoothness and forgiveness in rotations and double moves.Softer round rails in the nose for easier, smoother rotations.Protected by a full perimeter Carbon Innegra rail band that creates a rigid frame and increases rail impact resistance.The Flares are available in our new incredibly light UltraCore Carbon construction which makes them as light or lighter than anything else out there.Built using our exclusive UltraCore sandwich core and what we call Smart Carbon: putting the carbon smartly in the right places for an optimized combination of stiffness, flex and feel.Two rows of inserts for the front footstraps allow for multiple positions, angles and widths of the straps, ultimately providing a more comfortable stance, better control over the board and less risk of injury.Featuring 10mm thick footpads with the new square grooving pattern that provides more grip and comfort over extended sessions.Source:  www.star-board-windsurfing.com
