40 years with a Blast! We celebrate 40 years of Fanatic with the return of some of our iconic graphics on special editions of our most successful shapes - like the Ultra Blast Rat Edition.
The parallel rails allow the water to flow free of turbulences allowing great acceleration, top speed and easy gybing characteristics.
Just like its Mamba Wave siblings, the narrower width compared to equivalent freeride boards gives the Blast an increased level of efficiency. The wider nose and pulled in tail offer blistering acceleration, but also a stable platform to drive from, giving you tons of speed and control over chop. Push as gentle or as hard as you want in the corners, the Blast responds immediately keeping the speed right through the gybe, with ease.
Performance has never been so easy!
Fast and easy at the same time

wide tail and nose
The wide tail and nose make the Blast a very stable platform when off the plane
Stable ride
At speed the ride is locked in, very stable and comfortable
thin rails
Can be gybed aggressively in experienced hands thanks to the thin rails, but also very easily for less experienced riders due to the wide tail
Parallel outline
Amazing acceleration from the wide tail and low drag characteristics of the parallel rails
all sails
Equally comfortable with rotational or camber induced rigs
Foil use
Tuttle Box for strength and approved for foil use in all sizes

High Resistance composite technology is a durable construction for everyday use. A thick, durable outer skin gives the hull maximum strength, as well as making it ding and impact resistant. Strategic use of fibre reinforcements ensure adequate stiffness. In combination with the user-friendly EVA deck, HRS can be seen on the standard Gecko, as well as the Viper / Ripper ranges.

compare
Choose the Blast over the Gecko for:
The Blast rides with a more locked down feel than the Gecko and generally offers a higher level of performance. It accelerates faster, has a better top speed and offers more responsive gybing. The Gecko offers an even easier and more forgiving ride.
Choose the Blast over the Jag for:
The Blast requires less technique to reach its maximum potential and is designed to perform equally well with both rotational and cambered sails. The Blast is easier and less physical to sail than the Jag, with a very controlled, locked in ride and is more forgiving in the gybes.
