Fanatic Falcon 2012 Sizes

The board bags on the 2012 Fanatic site show the sizing of the upcoming and yet to be released 2012 Fanatic Falcon range of slalom boards...

XS (245 x 57)
NewWave 69 / 76 / 83, FreeWave 75, NewWave Twin 72 / 79, Quad 75 / 81, all Falcon Speeds

S (247 x 62)
NewWave 91, NewWave Twin 86 / 93, Quad 87 / 94, FreeWave 85 / 95, Hawk 100, Falcon Slalom 89, Ray 100, Skate 89

M (249 x 66)
FreeWave 105 / 115, Skate 99 / 109, Shark 105, Hawk 110, Falcon Slalom 99

L (258 x 70)
Shark 120, Ripper 102, Ray 115, Falcon 113, Hawk 120, Ripper 120

XL (268 x 85)
Shark 135 / 150 / 165, Falcon 125 / 140 / 165, Ray 130 / 145, Hawk 135

Looks like;
>the 85 is now 89
>the 102 is now 99
>the 111 is now 113
>the 122 is now 125
>the 134 and 148 have been replaced by a 140.

Widths are anyones guess but based on the popularity of the 2011 shapes I am sure there will only be slight tweaks rather than wholesale changes.

JP Slalom VIII 2012 Sizes

I always like to check out the JP board bag sizing for the coming year as it usually has models which have not been put on the website.

JP Slalom VIII Range
59
66
68
78
84

I am pretty sure there will be a smaller size also that is not added to the small board bag list:
http://www.jp-australia.com/2012/index.php?id=647

It appears the larger boards have been resized:
The 76 is now 78cm wide.
The 82 is now 84cm wide.

There have been other leaks on the web but this is on the official website;)

New JP Super Light Wind 2012


JP have added a second size of SLW to complement the original 90cm design.

The 92cm SLW is like a scaled up X-cite Ride and is 16cm longer than the 90 and both come with a moulded 56cm carbon fin. The 92 also has an inboard strap option and 11L more flotation enhancing its appeal for begginers and intermediates.

The 92 is available in FWS and PRO construction, the 90 is available in PRO and GOLD construction.

JP Speed 2012


JP have released the 2012 speed range with one upgraded design; the 49 is now a 50 and has been designed to complement the new wide base style of weed fin pioneered by C3. Looking at the plan the nose looks a little wider and spoon like reminiscent of the Carbon Art speed boards. It appears that the boards are no longer supplied with fins, it would be great if they came with a C3 Slingshot!
