Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this. I am looking at buying a 10' Fanatic Fly (timber finish) and was wondering if you can put a sailboarding mast on them?

Hi
I have a Fanatic 10'6 HRS and you can put a mast/sail combo on that has two spots for it.

The 10' looks like it has a mast spot on it.

My wife has the 10 and yes it has a single hole that will accept a mast base to put a windsurf rig on.

I have a 10' HRS Fly and is has two holes for mast fitting. HRS is better if you are a beginner as it takes the accidental knocks and hits much better. Only a little heavier by 2 kgs or so over wood finish version, which is more susceptible to knocks.

The screw hole nearer the bow is for flat water sailing and the one nearer the hand hold is for wave sailing. There is no breather hole on this model.

Have used mine with a 5.9 wave sail in 2'-3' waves in 5-10 knots and it was fantastic, but no jumping possible, just the sweetest wave riding.

Funny thing is the board is way more stable with a sail on it than as a pure SUP.
