Description
Fanatic X Sky Style TE
The Sky Style, available in four sizes from 55l to 85l, has been designed to maximize stability when starting and landing tricks, as well as improving turns, reactivity and take-offs for jumps.
The higher rocker line of the Sky Style greatly improves turning response through increased leverage over the pitch of your foil, resulting in faster and more direct reactivity. The more “nose-up” riding style is ideal for starts and landings and improves the flying and turning behaviour of your foil when drawing lines in the surf.
The deep deck recess with a high-volume nose section offers incredible stability for landings and creates a stable and balanced platform for sinking starts for riders using the Sky Style in a volume that doesn’t fully float their body weight. The higher nose recovers remarkably well from steep landings and makes it much easier to load up for jumps by providing more distance between the nose and the water to prevent catching.
Features:
- Small to medium size shapes for advanced Wingers ready to start with volumes around or below their body weight
- Recessed deck shape for stability, control and a direct connection with the foil
- High Volume nose section for great stability in starts and landings with balanced sinking
- Higher rocker line provides greater leverage over the foil, maximum pop for take- offs and easy landings with good recovery
- Sharp release edges in tail section for early take off and uninterrupted glide in landings and touch down
- Footstrap inserts for double front strap, single diagonal front strap or straight single front strap
- Double screw inserts for back strap
- Full deck pad with tail kick for grip, comfort and support behind your back foot during starts – slightly thicker and softer vs. 2022 Sky Wing pad
- Bottom handle for easy access
- No compromise Carbon PVC Sandwich construction
We have some of the Fanatic X Sky Style models available for test at our Centre on West Wittering beach.

Tim Leary (verified owner) –
Delighted with the new board – Fanatic Style 5’1” 85Ltr. I’m 87KG. (And almost 61yrs).
First impressions were OMG it looks small in the water, but actually the balance on knees was not an issue although board submerged under surface. (Perhaps it’s under the chop?)
As soon as the second hand on wing normal service was resumed and board rose to the surface from where I just had to be careful not to apply too much front foot pressure to avoid sinking the nose.
The board takes off onto foil I would say surprisingly earlier than the old 2022 5’4” 95Ltr it replaces.
It seems to be a smoother ride somehow and is more manoeuvrable. I can also pump with the wing depowered for longer/further on this board.
Have been using Takuma Kujira 1440 on the three sessions I’ve had since purchase, (front of mast foot approx. 1” from front of foil track) but looking forward to enjoying more freedom on the 1095, now I am confident I can ride this board.
No regrets and the old board sold to a friend already.
Thanks, 2XS, for the well communicated purchase experience!
