Fanatic Flatwater Vid
« on: September 17, 2011, 08:45:01 PM »
Fanatic distributor Adam Quinn came to town this weekend with a brand spanking new 14' Flatwater prototype board for us to demo. Test pilot is Dave Hunt. We did a speed test on a set course against the production release 14' Open Ocean version, and I had in mind to do a split screen to show the differences on the water. However the test was compromised by changing wind conditions so I decided to just post the video of the flatwater board. For the record, the flatwater board completed the 650 metre course 20 seconds faster, but again, the changing conditions discredited these results.

Nice vid Paul.. I watched you guys on the live cam because I slept in..  :)

It looked like beautiful weather but that north wind was getting close to 15-20 knots.. Shame it didn't stay glassy.

How wide is the new flat water 14.

The Flatwater 14 is 27.5" wide compared with 28" for the one with more rocker. Both equally stable.
