I went out and bought one of these boards in part based on this review (the 5' 10"). It seemed ideal to learn on and to take on a plane and save on the crazy rental costs for winging gear. Anyway I got mine in December inflated it at home to 15 PSI then deflated it and stored it away. Jumped on a plane out of Detroit for warmer climes two weeks ago all good (except the larger version of this is oversized which is OK just can't use the standard baggage belt). First day pumped it up on the beach put the foil on went to get my wing and bang followed by a rapid woosh the board had popped!
Anyway I get it these things can happen but clearly I was a bit miffed having to rent gear for two weeks. Anyway MACKite to the rescue they were hyper responsive and will get me sorted with or without Fanatic - I cant thank them enough what a great store! It's 12 days since pop day and Fanatic have yet to respond. I just don't get it you'd think they would want to know etc etc. Anyway I've had three inflatables two Starboard and one Fanatic - one Starboard leaked and you know what happened to the Fanatic so I won't be taking those odds anymore!

I have owned one of these boards for about 2 years and have taken it out no more than 30 times. It works well and packs up nicely for travelling. Unfortunately the seams now leak and there is a bulge on one side. So you do need to consider these boards to be disposable and so you do need to consider that seriously prior to purchase. Many shops no longer carry them because they do expect them to fail. Fanatic does not consider these seam failures to be manufacturing flaws.

Thanks, great review as always! I cannot help to get slightly off topic ask if there is a review for the Ocean Rodeo Glide A-serie coming soon? It must be that wing you're using in this video and I'm very curious of what you have to say about it.

Hey Tucker, Do you have a recommendation for where to initially set up my Armstrong 1850 on a 5'4? I weight 155lbs or 70kg It was based on this video and others that I bought one of these. So, great job!

Tucker
You say in the video that the F-One Rocket Air is together with the Fanatic your favorite inflatable board. Are you going to make a video of the F-One? Thanks!!!

[mikeb]

Have you ridden the Starboard inflatable with the top deck 'plate'?

[PerWiklund]

Any plans to review Naish S27 inflatable?

[AuzCoastflyer]

This is probably a really dumb question, but could you screw a couple of fins into the two tracks and use it as a SUP on flat water or even small waves? I have a Naish foil and a Airush 6m wing and really want to learn this sport. I've been kitesurfing and surfing for 20 years and I weight about 90kgs. Love your videos!

Great review.. I'm considering an inflatable for a travel board. Fanatic sky air is out of my price range. So I'm looking at F-One Rocket Air 5'4" 90L or 5'10" 125L - I'm 5'10" 70kg an advanced beginner who's trying to jybe/tack on a 110L F-One board. You mentioned Rocket Air - would you be doing a review of that at some point? Which size would you recommend me to get, 90L or 125L? Thank you.

[sunirauvivant-thierrythouv]

Thanks, great video ! Would you recommend this board for a beginner ? My weight is 73kg, what size would you recommend for me ?

[philiptuffs-whjp]

Hi I have the fanatic sky air 5’ 10” and can not get it on the foil . I have the mast all the way forward in the track, but the centre of gravity looks to far forward . I have had two people test it and could not get it to work, I have a Armstrong cf 400cm2 foil on it . Any ideas think I am out of them.

[leons.kennedy]

Great video ! Can I asked you question that I'm 63kg any board and foil size recommend for ? Also I heard that the bigger foil good light wind, it's that the board also bigger is better ? Cause my place just got lot of shit wind days haha~

[sandyolney]

Hi. Just traveled with 4 boards... nightmare. Great review. How does it look packed up? How small?

[westie]

Thanks for the nice review!
I am an intermediate windsurfer intending to try wingfoiling. Do you think this board would be a good choice for learning and improving? I am 83kg, would a 5’10 be a good choice?
What about the footstrap bumps? Are they disturbing when riding without footstraps?
Do you think that the original Fanatic foil would be a better fit considering the footstraps’ positions?
Thank you!

I have this board. The seal went over the rear over about 15cm at 19psi of pressure and Fanatic haven't responded to two queries about what to do. It's new maybe used 12 times. A glue repair will cost $200 if they can fix it. It goes fine but the foot joints hurt your kness when you jump on.
I'm guessing Fanatic have zero customer service. So the red tape will lift and you're on your own!

All the complaints really putting me off investing in this board
