Our freeride board with the biggest range of use and ecologically built with Ocean Minded spirit!

"Save our Playgrounds" - for many years now this has been one of our main guidelines. We are constantly exploring new technologies to build our boards more sustainable, more ecological without sacrificing the performance.

From the very first runs hooked into the harness all the way to full planing power gybes, the Gecko Eco will always help you along the way. The rather thin and wide shape has been subtly adapted. Its volume is perfectly distributed for a stable and at the same time very sportive ride. The Gecko Eco is extremely easy to ride but offers a very sporty and direct feel.

For years now all Fanatic boards have been laminated with Sicomin bio resin. The Gecko Eco takes this concept quite a step further. Built with flax, bamboo and cork instead of the classic fiberglass/PVC sandwich construction, we come a lot closer to a truly eco-friendly process.

Of course, the Gecko Eco features all the characteristics of the regular HRS construction. However, the materials incorporated in the construction, create a completely unique flex behavior. The board is by no means just an ecological gimmick! In addition to a stunning look this fun machine also feels loose and agile under your feet.

Available in three sizes: 110, 122 and 135l.

Blast LTDBlast LTD

Choose the Gecko over the Blast for:

The Gecko is easier and more stable to sail, particularly when off the plane.  It planes earlier and with less technique than the Blast and will keep planing for longer through lulls.  The Gecko is the easiest board in the Fanatic range to achieve planing carve gybes on and rides more freely than the slightly faster Blast.

Gecko EcoGecko Eco
Eagle LTDEagle LTD

Choose Gecko over Eagle:

The Gecko is our allround Freeride with more performance than the Eagle in terms of top speed and tighter gybes. It’s basically the next logical step for riders coming from a Eagle to improve their Freeride skills. Very easy planing with a great top end speed and great for learning both wider and tighter gybes.
