Probably the biggest board on the market...
Why...? Because we want to please every one, and the big boys will finally find a board that suit them well also in light conditions. The "Mahalo" is a fast sub planning board, with the "step tail" working at its best. It has been increased by 10 cm compared to the Kona and Kona style with a total length of 45 cm. This "oversized" machine rails upwind like nothing else, and the tucked area is pushed to the limit making the rail looking almost round. |
|
Best complement for short board riders
At 315 x 65 the Kona 10'5'' is a very good option for people who like to go wave sailing in all conditions. A "smooth performer" with a fairly straight outline - ensuring great stability in the surf. The step tail is adding balance and control in none planning conditions, and the aim of the concept at this "unusual size" for its category is simply to be able to do advanced wavering in any conditions. |

This board triggered a true revolution in the wave discipline, for perfect or light conditions.
The shape has proven to be even more efficient: its manoeuvrability has never yet been equalled on the market; its capacities for surfing are amazing; its control is incomparable in high winds.
The more one sails on this board, the more one discovers the wideness/diversity of its qualities. Tuned in tri fins the board is explosive, expressing itself in movement demanding action and more action. The Seal is a unique shape, a true innovation enabling riders to pull of three bottom/rollers where a traditional board would only enable one.
Extremely compact, 213cm long for all three volumes, the foot straps are instantly reached in order to realize all jumps wave after wave.
Tuned in single fin the Seal becomes a compact board offering the largest possible range of use. It offers the best control in the highest winds even in the gustiest conditions.
This season we have decided to offer a complete range around the famous 88:
The 74 is dedicated to lighter riders or stronger conditions. When we know that the 88 gets ridden perfectly with a 4.2 it is not difficult to imagine this little Seal in the wildest conditions.
The 102 is a true sailing surf! From 5 knots wind onwards, it will satisfy the bigger riders;
They will have finally found a nervous and reactive board of aver 100 litres! This board offers them the possibility of surfing shorter and faster than with a traditional wave board.
The Seal Concept: speed and extreme surfs, with control and a large range of use.

Since Richard Greene decided to change the shape concept of his wave line to achieve an unprecedented level of performance, we went for a new name to match. The Pro Waves have been developed with advanced riders in mind, just like its predecessorthe Radical Wave. The Pro Wave is built on the core qualities of the Radical Wave line but now delivers our testers' and team's desire for more maneuverability, more speed and more bite in the turn. We didn't sacrifice any of the Radical Wave line's classicriding qualities; we just took the wave riding maneuverability and versatility to a new level. The new Pro Wave line has no limits in terms of wave size.
We wanted a board that does it all: Offering easy planing, a fast smooth ride for small wave days, plenty of bite and grip in the bottom turn and a radical cutback capability for the bigger days. |

The main assets of It's perfect volume distribution are It's extreme ease of control and early planing capacity.

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! |

Two freestyle boards that will generate a lot of gossip both at lake and sea spots. The result of Drops efforts are boards with improved planing, manoeuvrability and comfort without giving into control in all conditions including rough seas. The board is extremely easy to control during aerial manoeuvres, and therefore makes teaming new tricks a lot simpler; slashed manoeuvres can be performed extremely rapidly, making it possible to perform extremely complicated tricks even at relatively low speeds.

How can any shape combine the extreme needs of Fanatic´s 2006 PWA Freestyle World Champion Gollito Estredo, with a rider looking to improve his basic freestyle skills? A task really only possible with the best CAD data base and especially of course loads of experience by our shaper Sebastian Wenzel and his R&D team.
Our Skate freestyle boards are not just team rider boards for an extreme discipline, in fact they are some of our most loved and sold boards in the line. Whether in use at El Yaque by Gollito inventing new moves on a daily basis, or just a stoked rider learning his first basic freestyle move like a duck jibe – the Skates offer the ultimate combination of manoeuvrability, early planing and acceleration. The early planing performance of the Skates has improved again, with a slightly straighter rocker in the tail, as well as a little extra volume in that area. This helps to get the Skate on the plane with the lightest gust and gives additional security for the latest freestyle tricks.
Both sizes have become narrower and also smaller –this was part of the design briefing to keep the Skates as fun as possible to use, without feeling “too wide”. A clean powerful V-Bottom design secures early planing, speed, sliding and pop. Working with freestyle world champion Gollito is a big part of the Skate´s enormous success, his innovative style of sailing has lead to innovative shapes. |

2005 JP won the following freestyle titles ? PWA World Champion, ISAF Production Board World Champion, European Champion. Since this discipline has been invented no other brand is even close in terms of freestyle titles.
The mags said the following about the 2006 boards: ?A fantastic compromise between a classic move and new move freestyle board. Jumps like a Kangaroo, destroys its competition in the speed run, rotates super fast and carves like a Freeride?.

The new Kona Freestyle is calling for a revolution in the windsurfing world.
With this board you can perform radical "shortboard fashion" freestyle in almost no wind at all.. Mind-boggling but true. The concept is unknown, but it will change all known boundaries and transform freestyle into an all condition play, which was unthinkable in the past. |

FREE STYLE WITH FLAIR
The Flares are the fast-freestyle boards designed by our riders for our riders. Taty Frans, Kiri Thode, Frank Diaz and Sara Quita Offringa developed the range around the idea of mixing speed and freestyle for an explosive combination. Instant power, pin point control and aerial balance lets you fire up any trick with more speed, more style and more smiles.
What's new?
The Flare 99 and 111 have a new wider, fatter tail design that pops you up on the plane, switching on acceleration and power at will. These new shapes will give you more tolerance and more float for longer slides and faster tail rides. There's also a new constant-curve rocker that boosts aerial pop and improves maneuverability. The trademark heel gutters first introduced back in 2005 continue in 2008, increasing deck-dome to provide impeccable comfort and grip.
The Flare 60, 72 and 88 continue unchanged for 2008 with their slalom rockerline and slalom vee: these are the team's weapon of choice for high wind conditions or lighter riders.
Summary:
Super-fast freestyle boards
Wider and fatter tail shapes in the 99 and 111 model
New constant-curve rocker in the 99 and 111 model |

A strong demand for the boards keeps us pushing the limits.
With the input from our team, the Freestyle boards have taken on a few changes. We increased the thickness in our most popular 100 liter board.
We beefed up the rails as well as added more thickness to the tail to give you more POP for your tricks-so you will find earlier planing and more stability for the new moves.
The 110 stays the same and keeps the big guys stoked. The 80 liter board has the small guys spinning like crazy and so this year, we added a new baby to the fleet- a 90 liter brother that fills in the gap for any freestyler out there.

These "Classic Waves" have balanced compact outlines, guaranteeing a traditional but aggressive output of the wave discipline. They are intended to satisfy all types of riders, for all kinds of wind conditions and for all spots. Their shape is homogeneous; they have a curved rocker line, boosted by a double concave worked under the zone of pressure. This enables them to ally tolerance, easiness to handle and performance.
The two inferior sizes (62 & 68) are intended for wilder conditions and/or average size riders, with a narrower tail (round pin tail), more V and a curvier rocker line.
The two more voluminous shapes (76 & 86) have a OFO width, more important round tail and more voluminous rails, ideal for a superior lean, in lighter/irregular wind conditions, or for riders with a more imposing body mass. |

| Two new waveboards designed for onshore conditions. Their main assets are early planing, radical gybeing, speed and control when overpowered. The 76 was specially designed (or use with saib between 4.2 and 5.6m , whilst the 84 n is meant lor ones between 4.5 and 6. They are also suited for use at lakes where you donit get real wave conditions. These two new onshore models, on which the lone sizet characteristic has been brilliantly interpreted, will give great pleasure to many surfers from around the world. |

The most radical wave board in Drops range, specifically designed for side/side offshore conditions. A fairly wide bow helps getting through the treacherous breakers.. The rails are thin and soft with a lot of TUE in order to get the best grip during high speed bottomtums. The edges only become sharp at 30 cm from the stern for the sake of upwind performance. The rockerline is a continuos curve with a fairly evident tail kick.. The two boards have similar characteristics and should be chosen depending on the surfer's weight: the 243 is best suited for use in big swell and side to side offshore winds by surfers weighing less than 75 kg or lady-surfers and with sails between 3.5 and 5.3, or by heavier surfers with sails ranging from 4 to 4.7.

These three boards represent Drops interpretation of the wave-compact concept; they have been created (or typical european wave conditions with onshore winds and small to medium waves. Hose and tail are bigger than those of traditional waveboards, the hull starts with a concave area that then turns into double concave near the tail (or early planing and stability in choppy conditions. The upwind performance is superior to a traditional waveboard's one and they can be used with an extremely wide sailrange
