How can any shape combine the extreme needs of Fanatic´s 2006 PWA Freestyle World Champion Gollito Estredo, with a rider looking to improve his basic freestyle skills? A task really only possible with the best CAD data base and especially of course loads of experience by our shaper Sebastian Wenzel and his R&D team.

Our Skate freestyle marine boards are not just team rider boards for an extreme discipline, in fact they are some of our most loved and sold boards in the line. Whether in use at El Yaque by Gollito inventing new moves on a daily basis, or just a stoked rider learning his first basic freestyle move like a duck jibe – the Skates offer the ultimate combination of manoeuvrability, early planing and acceleration. The early planing performance of the Skates has improved again, with a slightly straighter rocker in the tail, as well as a little extra volume in that area. This helps to get the Skate on the plane with the lightest gust and gives additional security for the latest freestyle tricks.
Both sizes have become narrower and also smaller –this was part of the design briefing to keep the Skates as fun as possible to use, without feeling “too wide”. A clean powerful V-Bottom design secures early planing, speed, sliding and pop. Working with freestyle world champion Gollito is a big part of the Skate´s enormous success, his innovative style of sailing has lead to innovative shapes
