Description
The Grip XS is our dedicated performance wave board for the future stars of our sport. Designed specifically for lightweight riders, every detail is built in proportion so that smaller rippers can unleash their potential without limitation.
Based on our PWA World Title winning Grip TE, the XS is shorter and narrower with thinned out tail and rails that – when paired with increased rocker and quad fin set-up – offer the ultimate in manoeuvrability and control in all wave conditions.
The footstrap position and stance are ideal for smaller riders and smaller sails; it is truly the best board out there for groms and lightweights.
BOTTOM SHAPE
High top speed and excellent comfort in chop, thanks to the double concave / V bottom shape
FLAT DECK
Flat deck, great for stability in lighter winds
SLOT BOX
Lightweight and easy to adjust slot-box fin system allows further tuning for conditions and preference. Moving the fins back noticeably increases the speed and drive of the board, whilst moving them forward gives a much looser, more ›surfy‹ feel
SPECIAL ROCKER
Increased rocker with extra tail kick to aid manoeuvrability for lighter riders
THINNED OUT
Thinned out tail and rail shape to ensure maximum turning and control
TRIM / STANCE
Trim and Stance adjusted for smaller riders and kids
FOOTSTRAPS

PREMIUM FOOTSTRAPS
Comfortable and easy to adjust Fanatic Premium Footstraps
