One of the most recognisable names in stand up paddling is changing. Fanatic SUP is officially moving under the Duotone brand, bringing SUP into the wider Duotone watersports portfolio alongside its windsurfing, wing and kite ranges. The transition follows the earlier consolidation of Fanatic and Duotone's other watersports divisions, with SUP now making the same move for the 2026 season. And alongside the new name comes a new range of Duotone hardboards.
Three of the key new shapes are the Flow, Raven and Cosmic, covering everything from accessible longboard-style SUP surfing through to touring and higher-performance wave riding.
Duotone Flow
The Flow is a Malibu-inspired all-round SUP designed to bridge flatwater paddling and small-wave surfing.
A wide, rounded nose is aimed at early wave entry and glide, while the fuller mid-section adds stability. Duotone says the refined tail and rail shape should still allow more experienced paddlers to push the board into cleaner turns and steeper waves.
Available in 10’0″ x 29″, 10’0″ x 30″ and 10’6″ x 31″, the Flow looks aimed squarely at paddlers wanting one board for cruising, learning to SUP surf and developing a more traditional longboard style.
Duotone Raven
For paddlers more interested in covering distance, the Raven is Duotone’s new touring and freerace hardboard.
The 12’6″ x 28.5″ shape takes inspiration from the Falcon D/LAB race board, combining a piercing nose and straight mid-rocker with a wider mid-section, recessed deck and broad tail.
The idea is simple: race-board-inspired glide without the instability that can make narrower race shapes demanding for touring paddlers.
There’s also plenty of deck storage for longer adventures, with the Raven available in Custom CNC and Bamboo constructions.
Duotone Cosmic and Cosmic SLS
At the performance end of the range sits the Cosmic.
Designed as an all-wave SUP surf board, the Cosmic uses a round-point nose, pulled-in moon tail and a bottom shape that moves from mono concave into double concave before opening into V through the tail.
The standard Cosmic uses a 2+1 fin box setup, while the lighter Cosmic SLS gets a 4+1 system, allowing riders to experiment with thruster, quad, twin or twin-plus-trailer configurations.
Both versions are available from 8’0″ x 30″ at 109 litres through to 9’2″ x 33″ at 157 litres, making this a surprisingly broad performance SUP surf range rather than a board aimed only at lightweight expert riders.
A New Chapter for Fanatic SUP
The Fanatic name has been part of SUP for a long time, so seeing it disappear from new boards will undoubtedly feel strange for many paddlers.
But this isn’t simply a logo swap. Duotone is clearly using the transition to reset its SUP range, with new constructions, new model names and a much more clearly defined split between all-round, touring and performance surf boards.
The big question now is how existing Fanatic paddlers respond to the Duotone name — and, more importantly, how these new shapes perform on the water.
SUPboarder will be keeping a close eye on the new range.
