I have the 40 cm Fast stab. Seems (& looks) like it should be very neutral in lift. The Fluid 40cm stab looks like it should be somewhat similar, as it has a pretty flat profile, although the wing sits at the top of the fuselage connection other than the middle like the Fast. In any case, I'm going to start with the Fluid MT & the familiar Fast stab just to try and focus on how the Fluid wing feels different from the Curve.AndersP wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 10:09 pmI have the Fluid mt and used it with fast stab 45.
I felt that the fast stab 45 gave to much downforce at speed. I changed it to fast stab 40 and it was much better.
(The all black fast stab is also really cheap if it's still available)
Still just a little bit frontfoot pressure at high speed but very close to neutral.
With the Curve wing, the fast stab 45 felt ok, but I don't use the Curve much since the Fluid mt feels better at everything except the super easy, almost step up starts with the Curve m. Up on foils with one downstroke.
For me the Fluid mt needs some surface speed before take off. Usually a backloop is enough to get up on the foils except in underpowered conditions.
Up on foils it glides way better than than the curve and carve turns really good too.
Gong never share information about their future products.
I also first had the alu mast with a Curve (M) wing & the Curve 39 stab. I sold that & switched to the 85cm mono bloc mast with Curve M wing and 40cm Fast stab. The Fast stab was very noticeably different from the Curve stab - faster, smoother, less draggy, but a little less stable feeling. Now I just received the 100 cm mono bloc with Fluid MT & Fluid 40cm stab. I hope to get it on the water tomorrow. I was not in a hurry to change from the Curve M wing as I have become very dialled in on it, but I can see that the Curve wing has a draggy quality to it that probably inhibits straight-line speed and glide in turns. It seems to me that the Fluid should allow faster riding upwind & nicer gliding turns in lower wind/lower swell conditions.Zamed wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 4:29 pmI share your feelings about Fluid vs. Curve.
My first set: Alu mast 95 + Curve MT front wing + Curve 39 stab
My second set: Carbon monoblock 100 + Fluid M front wing + fluid 40 stab
The first set I prefer when the surf is up and the sea is rough, since it's more stable and I can go slower so I don't outrun the waves.
The second set is my favorite for all normal conditions as it's much more "alive" , faster and glides better. Much nicer on fast curves and all upwind manuvers.

It had been held up by the broker/shipper because they had not received payment of the taxes owing ... but they didn't notify me to ask for the payment and I didn't even have a tracking number to identify the shipment. So, in the end, Going comes through with a great product at a great price and delivered in a timely way, but the communication/customer service remains frustratingly inaccessible.
Now I have the 85cm carbon mono bloc, Curve M wing & fast stab ... and the 100cm mono bloc, Fluid MT & Fluid 40cm stab. I'm thinking I may try switching one component at a time to properly feel the difference each one makes - maybe start with the Fluid MT from wing on the 85cm with the Fast stab. I think Azoele commented that it took him a while to accept the Fluid stab in place of the Fast stab. Why would that be? How different in feeling is it?
I had that exact setup and now changed to Curve and Carbon V2 mast. For sure the X-over is easier for a beginner and the way to go at that price. I also have the new pro stab on the way even though I'm not sure I'll like it more than my current one. A bit lighter weight is always nice I guess.
