"Manoeuvres instead of straight ahead" - that's the maxim for the new freestyle crossover concept from Fanatic. The Fanatic Foilstyler has been optimised 100 percent for freestyle moves, whether powered by a wing or sail. This balancing act is made possible by a variety of footstrap options, which allow a suitable position for both winging and windsurf foiling. Thanks to a long double rail, the foil position can also be greatly varied and thus adapted to both disciplines.
The Foilstyler is equipped with a large deck pad and a carrying handle on the underside. According to the manufacturer, the board is manufactured using PVC biax/glass technology.
Two sizes are available, 93 and 103 litres, which are very compact from a windsurfing point of view with lengths of 180 and 199 centimetres respectively, but rather moderate due to the wingfoil goggles. The edges of the board have been bevelled to gently lift the board back into the air if it is set down unintentionally.
