Description
Description
The Fanatic Fuselage Carbon 78cm is the all-round option in Fanatic’s carbon foil platform, designed for riders who want a stable, balanced and confidence-inspiring feel across multiple foiling disciplines. If you are building or refreshing a Fanatic foil setup for wing foiling, SUP foiling, prone foiling or pump foiling, this is the fuselage that sits in the sweet spot between easy control and lively performance.
For many riders, fuselage choice is one of the most overlooked parts of a foil setup, but it has a huge effect on how the foil feels under your feet. The 78cm length gives you a calmer, more predictable ride than a shorter surf/freestyle fuselage, while still keeping enough responsiveness for progression. That makes it a strong choice for riders who want one setup that works across different conditions rather than something highly specialised.
Where It Sits in the Range
Within the Fanatic carbon fuselage range, the 78cm is the true all-rounder. The shorter 68cm option is the more playful, looser choice for advanced surf and freestyle riding, while the longer 90cm option is aimed more at windsurf foiling and maximum straight-line stability. The 78cm is the one to choose if you want dependable control, better pumping rhythm and a setup that feels easy to trust as your riding develops.
Why Choose the Fanatic Fuselage Carbon 78cm
- Stable and predictable feel for riders who want confidence rather than nervous handling
- Excellent all-round length for wing, SUP, prone and pump foiling
- Better pumping support thanks to its balanced, composed geometry
- Compatible with the Duotone 3BS connection standard via the older Fanatic carbon mast platform
- Adjustable rear wing position so you can fine-tune trim to suit your level and conditions
- Lightweight carbon construction to keep overall foil weight down
- Strong long-term durability thanks to stainless steel inserts at key connection points

Compatibility & Setup Notes
Yes - the Fanatic Fuselage Carbon 78cm fits the Duotone 3BS system. This is because Duotone’s 3BS mast/fuselage connection uses the same standard as the older Duotone and Fanatic carbon mast platform.
That makes this fuselage a good option for riders using compatible Duotone 3BS mast setups and wanting to keep an older Fanatic carbon-based foil system running.
It is best thought of as the legacy equivalent of the newer Duotone Aero AL 3BS 74cm, which replaced the previous Fanatic Carbon 78cm in the updated range.
Please note: compatibility still needs checking if you are mixing in older non-3BS aluminium parts or very early front wings, so if you are unsure, ask us before ordering and we will help you match the right setup.

Helpful Reading & Buying Advice
Does the Fanatic Fuselage Carbon 78cm fit the Duotone 3BS system?
Yes. This fuselage uses the older Fanatic carbon mast connection standard, which is the same connection standard used by Duotone’s 3BS system. It is effectively the earlier equivalent of the newer Duotone Aero AL 3BS 74cm fuselage.
Who is the Fanatic Fuselage Carbon 78cm best suited to?
It is the best fit for riders who want an easy, balanced and dependable foil feel across more than one discipline. If you want one fuselage for winging, SUP foiling or prone foiling without going too extreme in either direction, this is the sensible choice.
How does it compare with the 68cm fuselage?
The 68cm is the looser, more reactive option aimed more at advanced surf and freestyle riding. The 78cm feels calmer, more stable and easier to pump consistently, which is why it works so well as the all-round option.
Is the 78cm a good choice for progression?
Yes. It gives riders a reassuring amount of control and pitch stability, which makes learning easier and helps intermediate riders keep improving without the setup feeling nervous or overly technical.
Can I try a foil setup before buying?
Yes — if you want help choosing the right foil geometry for your riding, speak to us about the options available through The SUP Company and our foil-focused support at Lymington.
