I didnt realize until now, that CURVE family has the ST member. (thought M was the smallest)
But there is little info about it, apart of the technicals.

Anybody tested it? ... I would like to know... range, top speed, pump capability...etc

I'm 67kg intermediate foiler

Not tested until now

Much flatter than the curve M

Ahhh the Pictures Show
The small Curve ST (advanced Carving) 800ccm
And the Medium X-Over (beginner alround) 1250ccm

So different foils


I also had the Curve M.... And that was much more curved.


I will Not be able to try IT the next weeks 🙁

Let me know how you go with that foil. I have the X-0ver M as well and I'm thinking of adding another front wing this year. When you see a Peak4 at Ijmuiden or Wijk that's probably me :)

Those are my primary kiting spots.... Let's keep in Touch ...👍👍👍

I Just tried another Stab with the XOver front wing: changed from the XOver Stab to a curve 39cm Stab.... I Like it a Lot.... Less lift, but also little more agile.... I was looking exactly for Just a little more agile

Ok, I'm not a very advanced foiler yet but I'm looking for faster and shorter turns now riding swell. I do like my setup and I'm not really looking to add much speed. So The new Pro fuse and carbon extension also looks interesting to save some weight, with a regular smaller stab. Gong told me the Fluid 40 pairs nice with the X-over too.

I'm in Ijmuiden once a week if conditions are good, so I'll see you around,.

I bought a Curve M. it‘s fine but I don‘t get rid of the whisteling. I already sanded the stab and the front wing. Anyone an idea?

Interesting, when in the Netherlands we also kite at Ijmuiden or Wijk :) But we only go there (3 hours from where I live) when big swell is coming for strapless surfing ;) Did some Wingfoiling in Katwijk around Easter also.

To the X-Over M: are you satisfied with it? IF(!) I will be still kitefoiling beside winging, I am in search for an all-around foil for cruising. I am no expert (no flying footswitch), but can foil figure 8s forever.

Or the Curve M / L? I have 86kg and I am used to Sabfoil 633 and Core SLC 1250.

Thanks :)
