Fanatic SUP Raceboards: Made with Winning in Mind
The Blitz shape is completely redesigned for 2022 as part of a team effort between shaper Kai Nicolas Steimer and world class SUP racers Arthur Arutkin and Christian Andersen.
Using both design expertise and athletic prowess as part of their R&D process for Fanatic SUP's raceboards, it is easy to understand the brand's confidence in every product. Here is a quick rundown on their three main designs: the Falcon, the Blitz and the Strike.

Fanatic SUP: The FALCON
Fanatic's tried & tested downwind racer, the Falcon's updated board design includes additional volume in the nose for powering through chop and changes to the rails for enhanced maneuverability. The end result is a board of dynamic surfing speed with maximized control, efficiency and stability.
The Falcon is available in 14 x 24 and 14 x 26 board widths.

Unfazed by aggressive chop, padding in big surf, or sprinting on flat water, the Blitz excels when the going gets tough. This newly designed Fanatic all-around racing paddleboard offers a semi recessed deck for better transfer of power, increased grip, balance and positional awareness. In addition, the added V on the nose keeps water moving off to the sides and out of the recessed deck. Also, the sharper nose also gives this board a better flatwater glide and maneuverability through the chop.
The BLITZ is available online in 14 x 23.5 and 14 x 25.5 widths.

Designed exclusively for speed, the Strike's unique shape gives the stability of a wider board and the efficiency of a narrower one. With a slimmer outline and a double concave up front on the bottom which narrows to a single concave, Kai Nichols Steimer (shaper) made sure all 14 feet of this board was put to one use: SPEED. This is Fanatic's fastest board, designed primarily for flatwater races.
The STRIKE is available in: 14 x 20, 14 x 22.5 and 14 x 25 widths.
Whatever style, width and design you chose, Fanatic's designs will help you enjoy the ride and come out smiling!
