Fanatic SUP’s guide to stand up paddle boarding

Fanatic is a very well known and established stand up paddle board company. Based out of Europe and slowly gaining a foothold here in the US, Fanatic produce premium level products, especially the Fanatic inflatable paddle boards. Offered in 2 construction: Double Layer Light and Stringer, Fanatic cater to all paddlers. The Fly Air (Stringer) and Fly Air Premium (Double Layer Light) are their staple all round boards that are extremely popular.

Double Layer Light

The Double Layer Light technology is our Premium construction. Featuring a second PVC layer, which is welded directly to the core layers and around the V-Drop Stitch material – the heart of each Fanatic Inflatable. An additional third layer of coloured rail bands round off the highly durable and premium quality, with stylish optics of the deck print.The benefits of the Double Layer Light construction when compared to the standard Double Layer technology is a 20 – 25 % reduction in weight, and around 25 – 30 % increase in stiffness. Simply the best inflatable technology out there!

Stringer

Utilising the best Drop Stitch material available on the market, our Stringer technology provides an outstanding durability / weight / price / performance ratio with its centre stinger keeping the shape strong and stiff, while reducing weight and price at the same time.

However, if you’re not quite ready for a board yet, they’ve also made a very good Stand Up Paddle Boarding Basics video to get you started.
