2012 Fanatic Ripper

The Fanatic Ripper new windsurfing board is for freeride use.

The perfect Young Gun board and rig solution for the next generation of heroes. There are two sizes, 102 litres and the all new 120 litre option, both boast compact balanced planshapes with easy to use performance scoop and smooth power v rocker line for all weather control. Stable enough for total beginners, there’s plenty of light wind, early planing grunt and top speed control for fast learners and even eager parents to pass on some skills. A selection of footstrap positions and removable centre fin widen the wind range and the total soft deck keeps sessions fun and comfortable for youngsters hooked on the healthiest sport alive.

Soft rails for first jibes and the luxurious EVA soft deck prevent knocks and bruises for an unforgettable and fun filled experience. Several footstrap and fin placement options let the Ripper convert in seconds to a high performance freerider for adults who just refuse to grow up. Effortless control and ease of use make the Ripper a great Family board for Mums and Dads to pass on their skills to the kids.

• CAD crafted volume distribution for both stability and freeride fun
• Soft rails for easy introduction to jibing and foot steering
• Easy on off centre fin to suit range of abilities
• Durable total softdeck pad for grip and comfort
• Purpose designed light and strong compact kids rig

High Resistance Skin
Fanatics high resistance composite technology is an optimum weight and durable construction for every day use. A thick durable outer skin gives the board's hull a high strength, ding and impact resistance. Whilst strategic use of glass reinforcements ensures an adequate stiffness. This construction is also used on the standard Shark as well as the Viper and Ripper ranges in combination with a user friendly EVA deck.

Fanatic Ocean Minded
On every 2012 board is a small “Fanatic Ocean Minded” logo this is to signify Fanatic’s commitment to protecting the environment and researching more environment friendly materials, in all our products. Every detail of our constructions, packaging, printing and accessories is constantly analysed to try and improve our “footprint” on the environment, not an easy task as composite materials are not the most eco friendly. However plenty of resins, sandwich foams, eva pads and laminates are already being developed with a more green approach in mind, Fanatic is a leader in testing and further developing these and other materials.

More details on these innovations will be released throughout the year on www.fanatic.com.
