Windsurfboards
BOARD MODEL
4 World Titles and countless won tests prove the pedigree of our Freestyle program. But as bigger moves are busted in the intense PWA Arena, the demands on a blockbuster board are off the scale. 3 all-new shorter outlines with wider round noses and thinner tails supply the vital easy handling needed to win. A reverse length concept sees the bigger sizes shorter than the smallest, with all models boosted by the power V form and ultra-slide bottom shape. For 2012 we’ve CAD-formed a double-curved tail deck design for super grip and arch comfort in both air and sliding maneuvers. The fuller nose rails catch less and smoothly blend air moves into sliding tricks for extra flow and style points. Sebastian and the team also thinned the rails between the feet for mid-stance carving control and sweated over a million minor details in the name of victory. The 99 and 109 models come in either Biax Glass Sandwich Light or ultimate Carbon Kevlar Light Team Edition (TE) and the Skate 89 weapon will be available in TE only.
Key Features:
- Reverse Length Concept – short shapes for easy ride and control
- Round Noses for soft reception and smoother sliding
- Thin Mid Rail carving section
- Smart Foot Arch Deck Contours for comfort and grip
- Power V and Slide Bottom for combo trick flow and style
Gollito Estredo (V-01), 4 times PWA Freestyle World Champion (2006, 2008, 2009 & 2010):
“The new Skate is a great progression forwards, I like a fast, early planing board for my aggressive style, the new shorter length and rail shapes are perfect for double moves and new tricks. I´m looking forward to defending my title on these shapes, as well as pushing the limits even further in Freestyle windsurfing!”

A specific combination of top quality Biax Glass fabrics in combination with PVC layers on deck and bottom provides optimised durability for the standard Skates. The light finish helps to reach an excellent weight to price ratio.
| Carbon Kevlar Light Technology (Double and Single)
The lightest and most impact resistant Carbon Kevlar, combined with a double PVC /Wood Sandwich and Wood/Carbon Heel Reinforcements guarantees the most efficient construction in terms of light weight with maximum impact resistance. The Team Editions of NewWave, NewWave Twin, Quad and FreeWave benefit from a double sandwich deck with Carbon Kevlar layups, plus Carbon bottom layups. The Skate Team Edition has a single sandwich deck of Carbon Kevlar and a Carbon bottom. New for 2011 is the use of special wood and pvc stringers, for extra stiffness and re-inforcement in the bases, according to range of use each slightly different. All of these models are produced with the Light Finish sanded look, for extra weight savings, whilst the new polished and airbrushed rails and bases are the ultimate optic for 2011! |

“... Thanks to the great characterics, convincing planing perfomance, easy riding and very good jump- and slide characteristics, we can recommend the Fanatic Skate to each rider type without restrictions...."
"...The Fanatic Skate is one of the tester´s favourite boards, especially because it shows no real weakness. ...It planes super, goes fast, jumps freeand slides good. Even Freestyle Pro´s expect more from their toy. Works for Spock trainer as well as for Gollito´s Burner 900...."
