Fanatic Stubby LTD 2016 8'2 Solid SUP

Since the beginning of the year 2014 Fanatic started experimenting with the concept of shorter, more parallel outlines with super wide nose and tail sections. What started as a fun project quickly became an exciting reality. The wide nose enables a longer and cleaner rail line, which gives loads of hold on the wave face and through the turns even though the board is quite short. The extra stability allows for less volume and a slightly narroFanaticr centre. The double diamond tail – which Fanatic reduced over time to a functional width – provides the grip to dig deep in tight carves and hacks into the pocket. A surfy rocker line offers all the fast reactions and flow you’d expect from a high performance wave toy. The wide nose and tail enables the rider to select a slightly smaller board in terms of length and volume (as an example, the Stubby 8’2″ is comparable to an 8’9″ ProWave). Both sizes are available in their incredible Carbon/Innegra LTD construction to round off this poFanaticrful package.
