In addition to the recently presented Sky Free TE model The Fanatic Sky Style TE, which is available in sizes of 95 and 105 litres, is designed to appeal to lighter and more experienced wingfoilers. The board is available in four sizes with 55/65/75 and 85 litres (lengths 4'7 to 5'1) - for this reason alone, the new model should primarily appeal to surfers who already have some previous experience and are looking for a small and compact board for jumping and tricks.
Compared to the predecessor model Sky Wing TE ( HERE there's a test), the new model has been significantly revised. Manufacturer Fanatic claims to have given the board an adapted deck shape with more volume in the bow for better stability. The deck pad is also said to be thicker and more comfortable. Fanatic claims to have placed particular emphasis on a clean water release on the underwater hull, made possible by a hard trailing edge in the stern area, which should prevent the board from getting stuck during the pumping phase.
You can find out more about the concept in the following clip:
The construction of the Fanatic Sky Style TE has also been adapted to take account of the ever-increasing loads placed on the boards by jumps and tricks - thanks to a carbon sandwich construction, the Fanatic Sky Style TE should now be significantly more robust.
The Sky Style TE models retail for 2099 euros - more information is also available HERE on the manufacturer's website.
