Wow. Guys didn’t learn nothing about destroyed winglets of 483
I also can’t still understand how/why these guys changed perfect brand Moses name to very stupid and bad name as Sabfoil. Of course it is a bit of luck that they not renamed to Skodafoil or Fiatfoil or FerrariFoil:)

2020-2021 felt like Armstrong is on a mission to take over foil market share. 2021-2022 seem that F-One really picked up making great foils. Axis is doing amazing and Slingshot has ramped up their own platform.
Has Kraken become widespread somewhere already?

This Kraken was developed to relieve us from screwing 3 less screws?
Sabfoil could beef mast fuselage connection without altering the masts base…
Did they even survay if that was what customers wanted?
Well, I cant complain…since I just bought a M82 almost new for less than half price from someone doing the “upgrade”…

Imagine calling your brand after your own company… omg how stupid is that…
SAB are the manufacturer /owner/brand.
As for destroying wingtips? Maybe don’t ride them into hard objects.

Saw that no any comments about year ago released 376 stabilizer, strange, it is behavior is as described - max speed and good control on turns?

I heard Slingshot phantasm fuse are compatible with SAB wings. Is that true
Yes. Phantasm and Moses surf wings are interchangeable (phantasm uses 6mm bolts).
Stabilizers have different hole spacing and don’t match

The new fuselage and mast base come with sacrificial anodes, would it be enough to put a zinc washer on the old fuselage to get the same results?

Zinc anodes only work while submerged in water. Alpine foils have had them for years and we still see corrosion on their aluminum fuselages.
The most important thing you can do to minimize corrosion of aluminum is to rinse with fresh water after every use.
