Hello gang,
would any of you radicalized foilers have any recommendation to replace my current GONG setup?
I ride a 100cm carbon mast which is very rigid. My front is a Fluid L-S, a "highish" aspect front wing of 1100sq cm, and a small, 230 sq cm stabilizer (FLuid S 39cm).
Love the combo: it has tons of lift for my weight (107Kg), is very agile, great to recover stalls. It is super fun for me, period.
But: am beginning to be really fed up with GONG and their "never really available" policy...
I used to ride the 633 Moses, but don't like that kind of wings anymore. Hated the "tilted up" nose needed when riding slow, the bad stall behaviour, the lower light wind capabilities than my current setup, and to a point, the less more twitchy feeling and the huge lift at speed (with 483 stabilizer).
Would newer more high A/R wings that are still agile, but have different lift and stall characteristics.
Should I test the 699 Sabfoil with the Kraken? A friend swears by the 799 (for wing, I think?) for kiting (and he usually prefers smaller front wings, like the old 683/679), he goes fast and jumps with it.
I don't really like Sabfoil (elitist, here in Italy), but I reckon their production is nice, and very easy to acquire here.
Other brands you may recommend who have up to date (i.e. no "old style" like the 633, or the Curve line from GONG) foil lineups?
I am entrigued by the Takuma Kujira (perhaps to be combined with a Project Cedrus mast ) but never seen one in person.
Useage: just normal riding with continuous playing around with manouvers, and waves as soon as I spot one! no jumping.
Thanks!
P.S.
am even eyeing the Triton monofoil... but do not want to get back to a Alu mast, nor do I wish for a sub 95cm mast...
