Unleash your foil with the Pro Stab like Gabriel who shares a feedback after several sessions on a Fluid XL-T / Pro Fluid H 45 Stab combo.

“Here is my feedback on the new Fluid-H 45 Pro stab that I used with a Fluid XL-T Wing that I love in light winds. I used this combo on 5 sessions over the last month.

=> We clearly gain in terms of weight, both on the beach and on the water.

This stab gives liveliness to the Fluid, here are the strong points:

Speed: I don’t have a GPS watch but this stab allows you to go much faster: you can set your line and really feel a better glide.
Glide: big gain in glide, we discover a new kind of smoothness.
Reactivity: this foil gives a new balance to the foil which gains in liveliness. The sensations get closer to the Fluid L-T with this big XL-T.
Jump: with the gain in speed and glide, it’s even easier to jump. We feel that it gives more lift. Landings are quite amazing. After the jump, on landing, it feels like having a little kick under the board to make it fly again. Novice on the jumps, they usually all end with a loss of flight but there, I feel like I’m bouncing back and I keep the flight in the majority of cases.

I had already tested this Fluid XL-T with different stabs, so I can compare. This Fluid-H 45 is better than the Fast 45 Stab (slightly faster but above all, easier in curves and liveliness), less stable than a Curve 46 but so much faster and more responsive and better than a Fluid 43 in terms of jump landings and speed but a little less strong in curves.

For me, switching to H-Stabs is worth it as soon as you have an intermediate level because it outperforms the Fast/Curve/Rise Stabs. Only a surf fan who does not jump can stay on the classic Fluid which will be cheaper and more efficient in the curves.

Test condition: gear: Lemon 4’6, 85 Carbon Mast, Neutra V2 5m and SuperPower V2 6m / Size: 68kg, confirmed / wind 11-18 knots.”
