hat wer w nd fo sta Three decades of Windsurfing history. One of the most iconic brands in the sport. Fanatic boards continue to define cutting-edge Windsurfing like no other brand on the planet. With our World Champion level athletes constantly testing and tuning our in-house prototypes, developed on the test-winning CAD design platform, evolution is constant. All this is done in the scope of our ecologically-aware mindset, dedicated to cleaner, better ways to make new boards and remain »Ocean Minded«.

green stay Great for Nature, Great to Ride While reducing ecological impacts and using ethically sourced raw materials was a primary goal, we’ve also made major advances in construction that bring significant performance benefits. In 2014 we’ll continue to use Innegra instead of Kevlar for ultra-stiff, impact resistant and lighter layups and maintain our use of recyclable Basalt and Bamboo, and aerospace-proven Cork.

Brand new shapes for the 76, 82, and 89 sized Quads, plus completely new TriWaves and FreeWaves. Both the TriWave and the Quad feature a wider outline, a flatter deck shape and a refined bottom-shape that make them easier and increase their performance at the same time.

To play in the ocean, we have to take care of it. That’s why every Fanatic board proudly displays the Fanatic Ocean Minded logo. It’s our promise to build our boards with a cleaner, greener environment in mind. In 2013, we became one of the few brands to use ecologicallyfriendly cork in our boards and will continue to do so in 2014. While much of the boardbuilding industry still relies on toxic, harmful processes to build boards, Fanatic does everything it can to offset our carbon footprint. We’re also using ethically-sourced and sustainable raw materials whenever possible – for both the...
