YEW, f i n a l l y !!!

I’ve been away from my home base Australia due to several missions for a few months… finally I have returned, sweeeeet :). Though I’m still not ‘home home’ for now; at the moment I’m at my annual wave-training location over a thousand kms away from home but a little angel has brought me a present:

One of my brandnew 2012 Fanatic SUP-boards – YEEEAH, I’m so excited !!!
It’s the FLY WAVE, the true “Allrounder” in Fanatics amazingly comprehensive 2012 SUP-board range, check it out right here!

I’ve chosen the Fly Wave as part of my Fanatic board quiver in 2012 for several reasons:
1. It’s a fantastic allround board that I will be taking into surf pretty much of any size plus it’s a great ‘cruizer’ for flat water, downwinders etc etc…
2. I would like to give the opportunity to everybody around me to have a go and to get people into SUP’ing, cause it simply is one of THE VERY VERY BEST fun things 2 do in this world, and the Fly Wave is simply perfect for that 🙂 !!!

SUP’ing is such an amazing watersport and I could almost not imagine one day without having a session on my SUP, whether it’s a relaxing cruise on flat water or riding some sweet waves. That’s precisely t h e very best thing about SUP’ing: the options for fun and a stoke are endless! SUP’ing will make your day, a n y d a y, regardless of the conditions, there’s always a sweet SUP-sess to be had, which will make you feel great 🙂 !

So, to come back to my brandnew “Fanatic-Baby”, the Fly Wave: Shaped by Fanatic’s master-board-brain Sebastian Wenzel, it’s a board for a lifetime of surfing. Timeless thruster shape, soft rails up front and sharper edges in the tail give the grip and feel of a smaller board with all the grace and glide of the ancient Hawaiians. Thanks to a flatter nose rocker and more pronounced curve in the tail, you gain easy paddling and turning ability for effortlessly catching rides. A flat deck and volume out wide mean there’s balance and stability galore. What greater way to share the joy of riding waves with family, friends and beginners?
And its design and construction definitely needs to be mentioned as well: I’ve chosen the Wood Edition, beautifully crafted wood that comes with the deluxe Deck Pad that ensures super comfy paddling; Yew, the Fly Wave Wood is one of the lightest boards on the market for extra performance and fun and I’m truly L O V I N G IT !!!

Out of Fanatic’s paddle range, I have chosen the Paddle Carbon 80, the most versatile paddle of’em all. The 80% 3K Carbon shaft’s easy on the shoulders in longer sessions, with quick response for racing or darting into set waves. Fanatic’s invested heavily in a genuine, quality CAD-designed paddle program with unique mould and tooling processes, without generic or off-the-shelf parts and shortcuts.

I’ve had several JOY-session on my Fly Wave so far on it and came back to the beach s t o k e d soooo many times and so did also all the people who had a go, everyone was lovin’ it too 🙂 !

The waves here are too far from the beach to take photos of, however, I organized a little ‘lifestyle shoot’ in some amazing locations, photos will be posted shortly, so stay tuned folks and check out Fanatics web in the meantime!

Have fun & start SUP’in folks, trust me, you won’t regret it, always here for any Qs & queries
