Should I buy an inflatable or hard SUP? / Fanatic Fly Comparison video

Compared by us on Jun 3, 2020
Words by Reuben Ellis

Fanatic Fly Air Premium 10’4″x33″ (2019)

“The Fly Air will offer a similar feel to the composite Fly but allow paddlers wanting to paddle on flat water more freedom when it comes to transport and storage. ”

Fanatic FLY Bamboo 10’6″x31″ (2019)

“The composite Fly is a lovely board that will offer a paddler more overall performance than its inflatable brother. ”
