I'm considering a s/h Fanatic Falcon 89 (2007 model). I won't get to see the board 'till Saturday.
Can any tell me if 2007 was a good year for the Falcon? I'm looking to use it with 6.5 or 5.7 sails and to try a few speed runs in both flat and choppy water.

hey man, yeah people used to do really well on about that year model and size, i think it would handle those size sails, sorta depends on your wieght a bit, they changed there shape in 2009 and have basically kept that shape since, making modifactions each yr, sunken mast track etc, the 2009 and 2010, didnt have any of those features, sunken mast track, raised back area,, but they are different shape to the 2008 and before, there smaller, round nose, smaller tail.......so yeah, the 2008 would be good and fast, probably handles chop better, extra length and more rocker, ive had all sorts of boards and brands,, fanatic is one of the best in my opinion, ha, goodluck man

and you are right, mine is the 90lt 2007 model not 2008. Pretty much an identical board though. Out of interest what did you pay? PM me if you'd prefer not to say in public.
