If you want one board that can get a big family, a paddle club, a school group or a watersports centre on the water together, this is exactly what it is designed for. At 17ft long, 60 inches wide and with a huge 1350 litres of volume, it gives you the stable, confidence-inspiring platform you need when there are multiple paddlers moving around onboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not just a scaled-up all-round SUP. The Fly Air XL sits in the Fanatic range as the specialist group board: ideal for team building, coaching, school use, holiday parks, centres and fun family paddling where the experience matters just as much as outright performance.
