Stubby Foil Edition 8’7 (2018)

Reviewed by us on Apr 3, 2019

“A lively, fun board that does it all... waves, wind and has the ability to add a foil”

Produced by Fanatic

8' 7" ~ 29.25" ~ 120L

RRP ~ £1649

Covered: Foil Speciality Surf Advanced Intermediate Equipment & Reviews

What we say

One board that does it all?… It’s a hard thing to ask for from a board, but having a board you can SUP surf, SUP Foil and windsurf Foil definitely sounds like a value for money product.

When it comes to foiling, by using a good foil such as the Fanatic S1 you can surf on pretty much anything (as many youtube videos show us!) But the Stubby isn’t just anything! The Fanatic Stubby is an outstanding shaped board that surfs so well you will be happy to leave the foil on the beach until the waves crap out. The fact you can windsurf it as well just brings even more fun to a day at the beach!

Other sizes in board range;
7′10” x 28.5” = 95L

First look

Reuben unpacks the new Fanatic Stubby Foil board in the 8’7” size. This board is designed to be used for SUP surfing with or without the foil, and can be used as a windsurf / windsurf foil board too. Length 8′7” Width 29.25” Volume 120L Remember these first look videos are not full SUPboarder reviews, […]

The Stubby is a lovely board shape for surfing and having the ability to add a foil is a real bonus

This foil set is tailored more to SUP foiling than windsurf foiling

Buy if... you're looking for a board that's great to surf in all conditions and allows you to give foiling a go too

What the brand says

Our Stubby Foil Edition comes in the same shape as our Stubby LTD and offers the same easy and controlled flow if you decide to ride your regular Thruster fins.
Once you change to Foil, our Stubby Foil Edition – available in 7’10” and 8’7” – creates a whole new dynamic. Catch waves of any size way before they hit the reef and ride them with new lines and a totally different approach. Our adjustable system with two longer tracks allows the use of different foils and finding their individual sweet spot. Additionally we equipped the Stubby Foil with strap inserts for optional Windsurf-Foiling. The greatest variety of multisport-use combined in one package.
