Having checked out 2017’s 105 version of the Stubby FSW it was intriguing to lay hands on 2018’s 95 litre version and see how it compared. As always Fanatic’s attention to detail, fixtures and fittings and overall manufacturing finish is right up there. So much so it seems a shame to get boards like this wet…but still. Coming as a […]
Note: this write up was originally published as two separate tests in Windsurfing UK’s Easter 2018 issue. To keep things (fairly) current, however, we’re posting this as a combined review.

Coming in striking blue and black […]

Enter RRD’s Hardcore Wave 88L V6 ready and willing to get riders revved up and out there amongst it in all manner of wave environments. At 88L RRD’s Hardcore Wave will be perceived as on […]
Non-POV pics: Geraint Roberts Witchcraft is synonymous with bomb proof wave board and wave sail designs. The Reaper therefore may surprise many with its different personalities (depending on fin set up) and overall versatility. Out of the box WC’s Reaper 102 looks more like a custom board. In fact, all WC windsurf boards have this trait, even though many riders […]

We should also add that the range of AFS hydro foils has now drastically changed. Stay tuned for AFS-2 foil review coming soon! This isn’t the first time we’ve published a foil related gear article (see review of AHD’s […]
With the recent UK spring weather not being exactly spring-like it’s been a good period for testing cold water windsurfing gear and how well this kit stands up to the chill. Here Windsurfing UK’s editor, Tez Plavenieks, took the upgraded Ianovated palmless mitts for a first run out. Many may recall the, er, innovative wetsuit featuring rubber tubes running down […]
