Fanatic Quad TE 2012

Our silky 2nd generation Quad line?s leapt to a different level. 5 new rounded pintail shapes built for the 4-fin concept give ultimate, dragless traction from slab surf to slush. Now earlier-planing thanks to wider outlines, smart volume flow and less tail kick, they?re faster too with a flat power section between the straps. All the extra acceleration and speed complements the tight turning ability from higher scoop entry, shorter length, awesome pintail release and extra fin toe grip for cranking it on. Now sporting the lighter, streamlined Slot Box and a broader spectrum of size choice there?s a clean-carving Quad for you. Available in 69, 75, 81, 87 and 94 litre options in no-compromise Carbon Kevlar Light Team Edition (TE) and 75 / 81 /87 in GDS as a lightweight, yet affordable alternative. All with quality Choco fins and weight-saving matt finish bottoms.

Key Features:
- Slot Box fin system for reduced drag
- Wide planshape, CAD-Engineered double concaves and supportive longitudinal volume flow with fast tail for low-end power
- Compact outline, fin toe and scoop nose entry for tight pocket carving and projection
- 90 deg rounded pintails for the smoothest finishing of turns

Victor Fernandez (E-42), PWA Wavesailing World Champion 2010:
?These days all wave shapes work in pretty much all conditions but the Quads come with that extra license to push a bit harder - but still let you keep control. That?s pretty important to any level of sailor I think. Their wind range is higher too, so they?ll probably be my first choice board in most of the places on tour.?

Klaas Voget (G-4), Fanatic R&D Manager and 7th overall PWA Wave Tour 2010:
"Our Quad shapes are capable of being pushed the hardest by the most aggressive riders but are the most forgiving to less experienced wavesailors too. All the grip and projection suits any conditions and style because it?s almost impossible to overcook your turns."

Carbon Kevlar Light Technology (Double and Single)

The lightest and most impact resistant Carbon Kevlar, combined with a double PVC /Wood Sandwich and Wood/Carbon Heel Reinforcements guarantees the most efficient construction in terms of light weight with maximum impact resistance. The Team Editions of NewWave, NewWave Twin, Quad and FreeWave benefit from a double sandwich deck with Carbon Kevlar layups, plus Carbon bottom layups. The Skate Team Edition has a single sandwich deck of Carbon Kevlar and a Carbon bottom. New for 2011 is the use of special wood and pvc stringers, for extra stiffness and re-inforcement in the bases, according to range of use each slightly different. All of these models are produced with the Light Finish sanded look, for extra weight savings, whilst the new polished and airbrushed rails and bases are the ultimate optic for 2011!
