Indeed!
I will bring some better stabilizers to Gorge in July and I hope you try those.
The 483 with pointed down wingtips is prone to winglet destruction and is less yaw stable than desired, the 450 is heavy and its negative AoA is too high so it needs a shim to be ridden. And both are thicker profiles. New Phantasm stabilizer is also pointed down.
I’ve finally got a proper surf stabilizer I needed bad when I rode surf fuselage a lot.
Awesome - would love to try them - you bringing your E to the gorge this summer?

So far it’s the plan, yet not sure why - regular foiling there is next to paradise
