Disclaimer: I own too much crap.

I had the opportunity to test the Sky Solback designed Fanatic Aero Surf Foil today in 18 to 8 knots on a flat water location.

My first impression was I could use the front wing as boomerang to take down a white pointer. It is big and it is round (reminds me of the starship from Galaxy Quest).

Unlike the Fanatic Flow Foil S1, this thing is super solid with a very stiff mast and solid metal fuselage... they have also done some smart things with the bolts to stop seizing issues.

The wing is quite thin unlike the Naish XL I usually ride. This seemed to make is just a little bit faster than the XL.

Launching..... this thing is a breeze. Comes up nice and steady. It did not try to launch me into the heavens.

Once up and running along at 10 to 12 knots..... this thing is super steady. Definitely the steadiest foil I have tried.

Wind was a bit ordinary for carving but all my gybes were magic. Flowing or sharp, felt like I was on a rock solid platform.

This foil will be excellent for learning.

This foil will also cover off a kite/SUP/surfboard foil.

Big thanks to Dave from Kite & SUP for the chance to ride it.

Looking forward to trying this in surf.
