I am not familar with Free Motion. I had a couple of problems with the Liquid Force brand though. Seems when they press the board together, they don't finish the edge around the board. Had this on two brand new 2006 boards. I went with Hyperlite. I think that price is way overboard for an off brand. The problem your going to have with off brand or old boards is that they are usually heavy. That won't help any rider. Have you checked out buywake.com? That is where I found my boards. I am no pro, but hopefully that helps a little. Give me a minute and I will post some good wakeboarding sites. A lot of good infomation on them.
