Ultra Grip
mosquito edition
Sizes: 68 / 75 / 82 / 86 / 92 / 102
The Ultra Grip Mosquito Edition celebrates Fanatics 40th anniversary with a blend of iconic graphics from our history combined with the most successful wave shape of today!
The highly adaptable Grip 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.
Through last year’s subtle changes to the outline, tail width and bottom shape, the Grip offers a new level of looseness and control – particularly in down the line conditions. The most versatile waveboard we’ve ever produced works well in sloppy waves - and it will blow your mind when your spot turns on!
The Grip is just a different league on the wave

compare
Choose the Ultra Grip over the Mamba TE for:
More top speed, a livelier feel, better in higher speed front side wave riding conditions and offers more adaptable performance with the fin tuning options.
Choose the Ultra Grip over the FreeWave for:
The Grip requires a higher level of technique to excel, and feels less forgiving, but is able to offer noticeably more wave riding performance than the FreeWave, particularly in better conditions.
