Did anyone go to the North kite Fanatic Sup 2011 product launch in Vic last Night how did the SUPs look. The 2010 9'6 was a great board. Is it changed any new boards? were the beers cold
No pics but there was a nice looking 10'6 that was good and light and an 11'6 that was a family freindly style lunker. And the beer was tasty and cold.

just seen pics of all the new 2011 boards and they look prity sweet a nice looking 9'0x29 and a rther good looking 12'6 race board with square tail so thinking probly down wind biased in two construction one being a full carbon job. will hopfuly be geting my hands on them in the next 2 weeks and will report back
That distance thing looks pretty good!
So do the other boards but I really like the nose on the race board.
I think your a closet sup'er doggie,you spend more time in this forum than your own
edit your words,its a fantastic looking chair
I have taken advantage of Quinny being at the snow this weekend and taxed his 9'0" Fanatic to take for a whirl. Looks pretty sweet.
First impressions before riding,
- Great tail lines, looks much sweeter in person than on pic.
- Full rails forward.
- Looks bigger than 9', but layed it down along an 8'4" Naish, and it's surprising.
- Very light!
- Fin set up needs attention, but I always change my fins, that's my thing.
- Looks a little straight through the nose in rocker, but I'll wait til I ride first.
I also managed to Tax Sambo's new Naish Paddle (haven't even seen one of these yet!!!), looks very sweet. Maybe a separate review.
Anyway, about to leave for my session as soon as there is some light..... Will update when I get back.
