Thanks Texasrider for the review. How do the stabs compare in size? Untill now I rode Ketos 1200 wing and changed to the smallest satb available. It dramatically changed the behaviour of the foil make much tider turns and much more playfull. With a bigger stab (karver) the foil is much more stable....

You have sweet gear!

He had!
Can't image better gear for the freerider.

Almost new. Used 8 times with light wind on the foil.

Translate by Google They were bodysurfers with swim fins. In any case, part of the fatalities, which ran into problems at the Northern Harbor Head in Scheveningen on Monday evening, were themselves experienced rescue swimmer. The group had taken to the sea with a bodyboard to exercise in tough condi...

Long fuselage + small stab = Short fuselage + big stab ?
I had just opened a topic about this but I have not really received a good answer. But soon I can experience it in practice because I have both, small stab and short fuselage.
Do you have an answer for this?

I went from the big Karver stab (280cm2) to the smaller XS2 stab (180cm2) and now I foiled about 6 times this stab in combination with the 1200cm2 wing. Thought it would be much more difficult. That isn't. The gain in maneuverability is really impressive. Great for carving. Much more fun. Only foot ...

Last week I flew my friend’s newest generation 8m Cloud Kite. Comparing the 8m Cloud to my 8m Gong v3 Strutless: The Gong has a higher Aspect Ratio design than the Cloud. The Gong weighs about 1 1/4 lbs more than the Cloud. The Gong is a fraction of the price of the Cloud. The Gong has a good backp...

Why don't you buy a 8m2 Peak for even better low end instead of a 4m2?
I thought that you always used a 170cm2 stab for the Ketos but I see you have now a bigger one (carver?).

It would be interesting to compare the Ketos weight to a Gong Freewave after an upgrade to the Pro M 100cm mast/fuselage/ Freewave pack (4.3Kg) of the Pro M 100cm which is 2.6 kg, allowing the removing of the fuselage and plate - just can’t tell the weight of those two parts to make the subtraction...

Agree with Lebast. A lot of people destroy their first foil. Ketos is maybe the most beautifull foil money can buy and not cheap. Better to buy this foil after you learned it a bit.
