WEBBER FATBURNER BOARD INFO
The Fatburner has evolved into a slightly more subtle version of its chunky former self.
While the Afterburner has become more fishy, the new Fatburner has been refined by maintaining, but hiding the much desired volume into a much sexier package. The nose, tail and rails are a touch finer, yet the centre thickness is slightly increased to offset these refinements.
This is a great paddling, easy riding, true fish shape, but with its super smooth rocker and straighter tail plan shape there is a degree of hold uncommon in most fish shapes. This hold and stability makes for a surprising ride in bigger waves. The big guy's all-rounder!
All boards are glassed with a 2 x 4oz and a 3 /4 patch on the deck and 1 x 4oz bottom with a patch on the fin area. We give the boards the silky smooth Pro finish and they come standard with FCS M5 Glassflex Series fins.
The Fatburner is made using our NEW SLX technology

CONSUMERS REVIEWS FOR THE WEBBER FATBURNER

Jean Carlos Quinones from Texas, Peru says:

I love this board, I am from Peru, but I live in Texas now so I was looking for a board to surf the type of waves we have here, I stopped at this surfshop a couple days ago and I made the best investment of my life, This board is so good and your wave count is amazing. I had many boards from all brands, but this fatburner should be my best one. Any suggestions if this board will work in more challanging waves??



Lenny Wilson from Victoria, Australia says:

Had 4 surfs on my 6'6" Webber fat burner, at first after surfing slow point breaks i was a bit worried about its performance but coming off a 6'10" fish i realised i had to work the board a bit harder because the larger the volume of board the more speed you will get. Surfed Bells and it flew, very impressed with it's rail to rail transition and very reactive to what i wanted it to do. I way 80 kg's and am 52 years old and could be surfing a 6'3" Fat burner, but opted for a board a little bit bigger to catch more waves, the fat burner paddles so easily and i paddle into waves very easily. Just stoked. Go surfing.



Jean-Marc Manning from Queensland, Australia says:

I recently bought a 6'6" Fatburner with the new 5 fin option (I weigh 80 kgs ... on a good day!) and set it up as a quad ... this is by far the best board I have ever owned ... it almost surfs itself! As a quad it is fast as hell and just flys in crappy waves - but it loves 2-4 foot range. So far it shows no sign of slipping and far from being 'corky' it really loves rail-to-rail transition. It probably throws out less spray as a quad but just rocks! From the feel of the board I possibly could have been fine on a 6'3" but I love the extra volume for paddling. Because of the joy of the quad setup I have not bothered setting it up as a thruster. I will buy an after burner for a thruster later this year for bigger waves. Yeah - I highly recommend this board!



Joe Aloha from HK, HK says:

Wow~ This is undoubtedly a Great Board~ Easy to paddle and fast & loose after take off~! I pick a 6'6" one and it is good for surfer shifting from a milabu (like from a 7'7" lime mine) The board help me to improve a lot and now i can enjoy the fun of riding on a shortboard~! Thx again for Mr G.Webber design for this board~! Only a minor thing need to improve is that the board is relatively weak in rail and tail parts, easy to make ting cracks on my lovely boards~ p.s. thx for Mark fm Surf Sail Australia to deliver the boards to HK for me and my friend~!



Enrique Muñoz König from Temuco, Chile says:

Just tried last saturday my new 6`0" fatburner, used it as a quad, SUPER FAST board, paddles great, I`m 83kg and catched alot more waves, besides, the multiple fin plugs gives the option to tune the board to many conditions, the waves were shoulder high to overhead in the big sets and worked great!!! thanks Greg, it was right what I needed. Planing to buy a semi gun, but there`s no SLX version of them, why is that? Maybe instead of a semi, I`d get an afterburner in 6`4" or 6`7" for bigger days. Good waves from Chile! Kike



Thomas from Galicia, Spain says:

I´m 6,0 tall and 95 Kg. This board makes me happy, my surf is similar when i was 10 yr youngest. i´ve tested a lot of boards but nothing like this. thanks Greg for your invention. In Spain needs better distribution of your products, everybody need to go to England for search normal stocks of Webbers.



Brian from Florida, Manatee says:

If you are the old school guy who is looking to catch more waves then you need to get the fatburner. I bought the 6'9" and weigh 230lbs and am catching waves like i did when i was a grom. I have rode this in sloppy, weak florida surf and i literally reached a point where i was done surfing for the day after catching so many waves. This board floats great, paddles with the ease of a longboard and reaches maximum wave count. I would recommend this board to anyone looking to achieve utmost enjoyment out of surfing. Thanks for a great shape for the bigger guys. Stoked beyond recognition.




Sven Bonne from west- vlaa, Belgium says:

Got my 6.3 fatburner yesterday ( 27.02.08) The new '08 version kicks ass. never ridden a fish before ( i'm actually a longboarder on a 9 footer) . Everybody told me that it would take a couple of sessions untill i would get on it and i better wait for clean waves, but the waves were little and sloppy ( Belgian style) but i already managed to get on it and ride a little. now i know this board got's lots of potential and it will inprove my surfing in no time. Can't wait to surf in france and spain with my new favorite board and really see what this board is wurth! And for the statistics i'm 28, 1m78 and i weigh 74kg. and yes my fellow surfers...... Life is better when you surf!!!!! and last but not least, thanks to Gregg Webber for designing this awesome board



Sam Duncan from Christchur, New Zealand says:

Just brought a 6'9" Webber 'fat burner' and im loving it! Great fun! 10/10



Rich from Florida, US says:

I'm 6'2'' 200lbs riding a 6'3'' Fat burner. I'm thoroughly convinced this is one of the best fish you can get.



P-Nizzy from Washington, USA says:

I'd Highly recommend this board if you're steping down from a funboard/mini-mal/mini-Tank to Shortboard. Incredible performance, floatation, easy to paddle, and duck-dives great. The perfect All-arounder for the bigger or intermediate surfer. Surfed on sum Overhead waves and it handled like a champ. Thanks Mr. Webber for making an Awesome board!



Andrew from Victoria, Australia says:

Awesome board. I'm 6'7'' tall and weight 110kg, and the 6'3'' fatburner works a treat! Amazing speed, but also can go easily off the top, with plenty of drive through turns. Perfect board for small slop!!



Tyler from Florida, United States says:

Wow.. whatcan i say just an all around great board i mean.. the day i got it it was like 6:00p.m. i was so anxious to ride it. I went out there and it was so flat. Icaught so many waves GUYS THIS IS A HUGE INVESTMENT!! And other days like a few weeks ago the surf was pretty good in the morning and i was ripping it up! =] aqll around great board -Tyler
