Fanatic’s redefining the modern Funboard with a range of extra wide and thin-railed manoeuvre-friendly compact shapes. Supportive wide points - comparable to boards 15 litres larger - and flat decks into thinned-out edges produce a hull capable of extreme, tight-carving performance. Similar to Freestyle boards, the extra width means you don’t need a larger sail to get going quickly. All three models (105, 120 & 135 litre) feature a proven rocker line and tuned tail kick release that deliver the ultimate quick-to-plane, responsive Freemove board. Ideal for screeching turns and even your first Freestyle moves – a true Freeride revolution has begun. Available in super-durable Bamboo Sandwich Light construction with GFK Power Box fin.
KEY FEATURES:
- Extra-Wide compact outline for early planing and stability
- Efficient low volume profile
- 75° Pintail for reduced drag and control
- Proven fast performance scoop-rocker line with added tail kick
- Flat deck with thin rails for ultimate carving sensation
- Flat Panel Power V bottom shape
SHAPER SEBASTIAN WENZEL ON HIS LATEST CAD-FORMED CREATION:
“To say this board is cutting-edge is an understatement – the ultra-thin rail edges let you dig as deep as you want in turns and extra width will save you from buying a bigger sail. If you’re looking for a board that planes early, with a balanced, compact outline to jump, slide and carve like never before all with way less volume – then the Gecko’s your perfect playmate. “

“...The Gecko is pure fun and exactly what you are looking for in that class. No other board plans as early and animates to try new manoeuvres. The perfect board for intermediates and good windsurfers who are looking for a board that feels two sizes smaller on than it actually is...."
“...The Gecko is a great new Freeride shape in the Fanatic range, with no common flat and wide shape, but with an unusual, flat and wide fun shape .... Feels really nice and easy, tolerant, starting planing early, good accessibility, effective jibes...".
