I love my 79ltre FF and I'm thinking of getting the 89ltre version..Were they as good or do they ride differently?
I love the acceleration of the smaller one , it's lightweight and the way it carves through the chop..

That's older than my Bic!
Still good boards though.. 
Are you sure its a 1989?
Based on this brochure, they didn't have a falcon in the range:
Dur...Don't know why but I've just assumed that was the year..I just checked the serial number on mine and it s 2008 . 
Phew.. Didn't like the idea of a 26 year old board.. 
I think the board you have is more like a 2008 model. To be honest I think you would enjoy pretty much any slalom board in the 90 litre range from the last 8-10 years. Don't restrict your search to fanatic.

Just realised that ..Don't know what planet I was on..probably just rushing too much..Ok I've got one so now to sell my 2008- 95ltre rocket! One owner - owned by little old lady who only sailed in lakes..

I'm hoping I don't miss that rocket as I would still like to 'try' the occasional chop hop and I won't be able to do that on the falcon.. 
..If only I could keep 7 boards..

7 boards Sue? Don't think twice it's alright.
You can't beat an '08 Rocket for the occasional chop hop.

that's a great chop hop Ian, you could teach Keef, he's trying for flakas but imo he needs the chop hops nailed first
Sue, I'm with Ian, there's nothing wrong with 7 boards
I don't think there is either Dezza But we've run out of places to store them and I think I'd be 'divorced' if I got any more..
