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

Would be great if you could post your impression when tested
Thanks

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
Stefan
