After killing the Fanatic 79 I needed a new board. My mate Sam Parker came good for me with his GPS board that he has taken over 40knots. I will try not to jump this one

2010 JP 56

Hi Damo no oath I just hope it's as good as the Fanatic 79.

Sam said it is a wood construction so should be a bit softer at peak speed and allow me to stay in control deep off the wind like a starboard. He also said it glides through the lulls like the Fanatic 79 as well. Lets hope so, the fanatic 79 showed me what a good board should feel like an old slipper. I could sail that board all day and the sails energy went to the fin and the board just stayed in control. So to be honest if it is not as good as the old board I will be honest about it. If it is as good I will be so happy

Well done Russ, looks very nice. I know the fanatic 79 was really good but I am sure this will be heaps better. Izaak bet you cannot wait to get your new one either.

Excellent choice Russ. Should be a good battle next season when we both have the exact same board.

I cant wait to get Damien to order mine in, but alas I have to.

Hopefully you get to give it a blast on the w/end. A bit of wind around Sumday ( (or was that Sunday!)maybe.

Help me!!!! I was so close to buying a F1 Bandit 3 last year but brand new kite for $999, but now looking at all these slalom boards I controlled myself, better to spend my money on them.[}:)]

You mean I need new everything!!! If my work keeps up the way it is I'll be able to get new everything for next season, except I'll be so busy working I won't have time to use it.
