Fanatic Freewave TE (2020)

Free Wave Team Edition

Looking for that one windsurfing board you can take to the beach no matter what size the waves are?  Then look no further because the Fanatic Free Wave TE is the board for you.  This windsurfing board is returning for the 2020 season looking to be the most versatile windsurfing board on the market.  The Free Wave TE is a biax fiber innegra construction designed to be durable/light for ultimate performance making it cost a bit more than the Free Wave.  This windsurfing board is also designed with a compact shape allowing for great control of the board whether you are carving up the face of a wave or launching yourself off a wave for a sick aerial maneuver, this allows the board to perform just as well compared to a dedicated windsurfing wave board.  Another feature that brings out this windsurfing board's potential is the wide tail which lets the rider plane through lulls more efficiently and easier jibes while free riding.  Lastly, this board is designed with more parallel rails letting the board have great upwind potential and lets the board come on plane that much sooner.  At this point you are most likely wondering how the Free Wave TE compares to other boards on the market.  Compared to the the Blast you would choose the Free Wave TE if you are looking to ride waves and want a more maneuverable board, but if you only intend to free ride with no aspirations to ride waves then you should choose the Blast.  If you enjoy free style sailing then you would pick the Free Wave TE over the Skate if you wanted more free ride and wave sailing performance, however, if free styling is all you wish to do then you should go with the Skate.
