FANATIC 2020 STINGRAY
Fanatic say, “The Stingray is our dedicated freeride foilboard with an incredibly easy and fun character. All the details of its shape are designed to make foiling as accessible and fun as possible, and it will grow with your progress. Its foiling-optimised stance comes from the parallel rails and boosted wide outline, making early take-offs and controlled efficient flights easy. The forgiving nose with bevelled rails help smooth out landings and recovery from touchdowns. Both track foil mount and tuttle foil box mounting options give you room to play with all types of foils – while the extra long mast track caters for all sail types and sizes.” www.fanatic.com
DUOTONE WARP 20.20
Duotone tell us, “The Warp 20.20 Slalom Sail is quicker to set up, saves more energy and is yet more competitive than any other that I’ve ever sailed before”, says the freshly crowned PWA Slalom World Champion Pierre Mortefon. Thanks to the NO COMPROMISE DESIGN, the WARP 20.20 also possesses greater planing power and acceleration after the start and jibe compared to other sails, without requiring more strength on the part of the rider. This gives riders greater strength reserves over the entire racecourse and allows them to concentrate on manoeuvring.” www.duotonesports.com
