| Slalom continues to grow and expand as a discipline, not only on the PWA World Tour, but also worldwide the trend towards easy to use yet high performance slalom shapes continues, Fanatic being one of the leaders in modern slalom board design. Countless hours on the race course of the PWA have proved the performance level of our Falcon Slalom boards, as well as on national competitions and GPS communities.
Many of our 2008 shapes have been in the line for 2 years, both in free ride and also now in slalom. The 2 most used boards of our race team in the 2007 season were the Falcon 90 and 125 – these 2 shapes are on such a high performance level, that we decided to leave them unchanged for 2008 too, just a slight name change to Falcon 89/124 and a fresh graphic. Also our Falcon 145 has been such a light wind success that there was no reason to change it, continuing with the exact same shape, fin and graphic from the 07 model.
We focussed on improving the performance of the two other sizes in our Falcon line, namely the new 79 and 104, with all the features detailed below: Speed is only one ingredient - control, gibing and ease of use are also major characteristics, this is also where the focus has been on our 2008 line. A slight modification of the bottom shape leads to more control and speed.
