About

Looking to go fast? The Fanatic Strike is built for pure speed and high performance on flat water. Inspired by the same design that powered Arthur Arutkin to his 2018 APP World Championship, this board is made for paddlers who want podium-level performance.

Its sleek shape features a narrow race outline and a unique bottom contour—double concave up front flowing into a deep single concave—offering exceptional glide, tracking, and surprising stability. A recessed deck keeps you low and balanced, while the wide tail provides added control in choppy conditions for experienced paddlers.

Ideal for distance training, race prep, or just testing your top speed—the Strike is our go-to board for serious flat-water performance.
