Hey Darren, When can i put an order in for a 14 x25 Falcon?
How come you decided to go 27.5 wide? More stability in the ocean?
I also see you have got the in for sale. They would be the perfect size for youth, can you get them in the white colour as well our only green? Cheers

Hi Warren,

Can you clarify the above question? Are you talking about the 8'6" Ripper/Allwave?
We did order Rippers and 8'6" Allwaves, but of course in limited numbers.

I have ordered a few boards for myself to play with this season. I have a 14' x 25" for Flat Water racing and the 14' x 27.5" for downwinding. I also have a 12'6" x 27.5" for BOP racing.

Selecting the boards for racing is easy from Fanatic. 14ft for distance and Downwind and 12'6" for short course racing. If you only do flat water and you want ultimate speed, the 25, if you want DW or ocean as well, 27.5" if you are a heavier rider and want stability for DW or ocean, go 30", Easy!

Same with 12'6". Match the width (see stability), to your weight and away you go.

I have a 14' Falcon ordered and know it will be just what I am after for some ocean paddling and downwinders. Any chance of some pictures especially the bow and rocker ?

They are using HRS and CS tech, check out website (or the windsurfing web site).

They do weights of their windsurfing kit and I find it interesting as well. Maybe it s because of the variation in weights or they just don't know which would be surprising ?

The thing is some shops only order what you ask for,don't carry everything or even have demo boards so the brochure needs to give a bit more information I think.

Why is it we can get the Fanatic 2013 brochure online and all sorts of pics for the boards but no mention of how much the boards weigh? Also they mention nothing about the new technology/fibrr they are using?
Can someone please do a comprehensive comparison between the 2012\2013 models.
Darren I see you are clearing the shelves for you're 2013 stock, can i t tempt you to move on the 14 flatwater?
In my earlier post i meant to say that the Rays look like good boards for youth, being 11ft. What weighs less these or the carbon 12.6 x25 falcons?

Definitely the carbons weigh less, the Rays are designed as cruisers, so think pottering off the back of a boat at Rotto or cruising around on an inland lake, wide & stable, but not a performance race board. also they come in a HRS construction so similar to a regular allrounder SUP in terms of weight.
