2022 Fanatic Grip TE
The highly adaptable Grip TE enables you to ride your wave your way, without compromise. Fast and loose, the range of six shapes achieves the ultimate goal: waveriding performance with immediate response, combined with great accessibility, speed and early planing.
The Grip TE offers a new level of looseness and control – particularly in down the line conditions. The most versatile wave board we’ve ever produced works well in sloppy waves – and it will blow your mind when your spot turns on! The Grip TE comes in our unique Biax Innegra Carbon Light Finish technology – the ultimate construction for all our Wave and Freestyle TE boards.
