The Fanatic Falcon slalom line have been completely reworked for 2012. The Fanatic Falcon 2012 is defenately one of the fastest windsurfing slalom boards within the segment. The Falcon 2012 has boxier rails in the tail and the straps are more outboard compared to the Fanatic Falcon 111 2011. The Falcon has a little more vee in the tail for control aswell as some tail rocker (2011 was flat). The track recess is deeper and extends to the nose reducing volume and increasing stiffness.

The Fanatic Falcon has been tuned with harder rails and a straighter tail shape, as well as a new rocker line. On the deck, it has a deeper concave to lower the rig further into the board and the footstrap area has been slightly raised to improve the riding position.
The Fanatic Falcon accelerates very quickly, feeling lively and eager, while at the same time lifting smoothly onto the plane. The Falcon is an easy board to get dialled into with almost freeride style ride and handling, which really gives you the confidence to push yourself to the absolute limit.
