I'm looking to get a new board, something that's boots compatible and more for freestyle. Haven't ridden many boards so need recomendations. Cheers

i am a shinn convert through and through. sounds like you should research the street or supershinn.
all of shinn's boards are very, very smooth riding with gobs of performance.
the monk has a real addictive quality to it and is my favorite in his lineup. but i am a freerider so that figures.

The Supershinn would be a good choice for boots. Like the previous poster said , they are smooth with great performance. In the Slingshot line up, I have ridden both the Asylum and the Darko. Both would be excellent choices with boots. The Darko is suited to flat water better but still performs in chop. Killer upwind.The Asylum is very smooth with good upwind performance. Both have great pop!.
Use the search feature,you should be able to get info on a lot of boards.

The street looks a bit flat I would want something with a bit more rocker, supershin looks good will boots fit it?

I have the SS Asylum with boots and it does the job well. I have been playing around with my Ronix El Von Vidal Shnook with the kite and it works amazingly well for a wake board.
There are plenty of wakestyle boards out there and if your going to get a board for boots get one that is made with them in mind.

The Supershinn will be a great choice for freestyle and yes you can ride it with boots.

i had the street and tried the asylum for a couple of sessions, street was not flat at all, out of the two though i really liked the asylum, bad ass board, landed nicely and butter slides so nice, dont use fins on it...i kite in florida though, and dont like big kites so i can't do wakestyle boards being 200 lbs
all the shinn's ride nice, but if you want a good board with rocker i say the asylum or tona pop finless
i want to try the new darko, i have a lunacy that i ride for light wind, great for getting upwind, but the spray in the face sucks, if not i am going with the misfit for my next board
i love the way shinn boards ride, but riding slingshot boards i can do one tack back upwind each trick or jump vice having to do two tacks sometimes three with the comfort of the softer board such as a shinn

Xenon Infra for sure !
Andy Yates rides it with boots and if takes his abuse then it will take anything.
I tried the Infra with straps and was amazed by the comfort. although it is a wakestyle board with tons of pop it is still comfortable in the chop.
