“Who makes the best boards? Credit here to brands that offer great consistency throughout the range and our safe buys would be: 1st Fanatic” Boards (UK)
Our FreeWave line has been updated five years in a row – the result is that the 2007 shapes were so highly developed and well accepted, that we decided to keep all four great sizes exactly the same for 2008!
The ultimate blend of flat water blasting, moderate wave use and medium to high wind freestyle, the FreeWave´s have established themselves as the best allrounders in the Fanatic lineup The FreeWave line has four sizes to cover all kinds of conditions, riders and tastes!
The test winning rocker line has been CAD tuned to perfectly combine early planing, speed, ease of use and manoeuvrability. This rocker features a short flat section for early planing and speed, combined with some tail kick and a higher entry for turning and waveriding. The performance of this rocker is just unbelievable, making the FreeWave range truly versatile.
The clean power V shape bottom provides control, manoeuvrability as well as a lot of potential for freestyling. Now there are really no more excuses not to go out and enjoy sailing in all kinds of conditions!
The FreeWave 113l - a new concept for light wind wavesailing and freeriding!
The prototype was very popular and well accepted shape , that we decided to go straight into production with it, already in the 2007/8 season. At 66cm wide, the new FreeWave is the ultimate light wind toy for wavesailing – floating out in the lightest breeze, catch a wave and rip while others struggle just to stay afloat! Also a lot of fun for flat water sailing/freestyle, especially for riders looking for more speed than a classic freestyleboard.
Like the rest of the FreeWave models, also the 113 is the ultimate blend of flat water blasting, moderate wave use and medium to high wind freestyle, the FreeWave´s have established themselves as the best allrounders in the Fanatic lineup The FreeWave line has now five sizes to cover all kinds of conditions, riders and tastes!
