Fanatic 2009 Ray 140


• WHAT WE LIKED: “Everything they wrote in the marketing copy is true,” remarked one tester. Our marketing copy would say this: fast, simple, fun. Rode high and free of the water. Double concave in just the right spot to mow through chop without hindering planing.
• BUYER BEWARE: The most common complaint about this board was the fin. Some testers thought the board's lightweight construction might be tough for novice shortboarders to handle in chop.
• BETTER THAN THE FLEET AT: Getting big grins on tester's face in almost any wind conditions; “going fast without trying.”
• BEST SUITS: We can easily recommend this board to all but the most green of shortboarders – it was liked by intermediate to advanced sailors, as well as lightweights and heavyweights.
• OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: Testers remarked that the deck had a very effective nonskid surface, and the comfort of the foot straps and pads was a plus.
