Fanatic

Fanatics board-design has been at the forefront and leading the windsurfing-industry for over two decades. Since 2011 Fanatic has broadened their product range, using their vast experience and expertise in board-design and started to conquer the SUP- and Surf-industry as well.

I’m suuuuper stoked and honoured having been chosen to be representing Fanatic as international team rider!

Craig Gertenbach, the Brandmanager of Fanatic and ‘master brain’ behind the company, who is responsible together with his wife Karin and dedicated team for the amazing success of the brand, stated his decision on the International SUP-team as follows:  “I’m very happy to announce our first International Fanatic SUP/Surf team. At Fanatic, our team riders have always had a close link in product development and promotion to the brand, for a true boardriders company feeling. Our current Windsurfing Team is one of the most successful ever, so we hope to emulate this with our SUP/Surf teams in the future, keeping the great family atmosphere amongst the riders as one of the winning ingredients. Look forward to watch the progress of Chase and Charlie on the National and International SUP circuits, whilst the images and input from Kirsty, Rob and Gabi will keep inspiring us to make the most innovative and fun to use products on the market!

Fanatic’s slogan is “Addicted to ride” and I can only fully confirm that:  Y E S, I’m madly, deeply, completely addicted to riding my Fanatic Surf and SUP boards. Joy boards with an amazing performance plus their looks in bamboo and wood-finish are simply unmatched in the market!

High time for you folks out there to give SUPin’  a go, if you haven’t already done so !!  And yeah, that surfing is the pure essence of it all, is something everybody knows, who has felt the undescribable energy of riding a wave.  It’s  n e v e r  to late to start and oooooh-so-worth-it; Trust me, you will not regret it  !

Fanatic has a board for everyone, check out its amazing range on:  www.fanatic-sup.com

And here a few more words by Fanatic’s shaper Sebastian Wenzel:
“SUP is ballooning into one of the biggest water sports in the world. Invented by the beach boys of Hawaii early last century, SUP is taking the world by storm. Our latest range of SUP boards developed in the past year are so user friendly that anybody can get out there and have fun from the minute they first stand on a board. In close contact with our Wave and Race team we have developed a range that will provide the right board for all conditions. From our 8’2″ Performance Wave board to the new Soft Top recreational board, there’s no doubt we’ve got the perfect board for you. From riding spots you’d never normally reach. Catching waves that other boardriders can’t. Getting away from the crowds. Being out in the ocean and enjoying Nature, or just cruising in calm flat water. There are always good conditions to go paddling. With a Fanatic Board under my feet I’m always perfectly equipped. The wide range of shapes that we developed ensures maximum fun no matter what the conditions are like.”
