GEAR: THE SIZE OF THE STAB !!!

The size of your stab has an influence on the lift but not only as explained to us by L’Ours which reacts to a message on our Facebook group GONG Galaxy where a member wonders with which stab he should associate his Fluid XL with, the 43 or the 46.

“If you have a rather front footed stance: 43. So more front foot pressure. But in my opinion it will be more balanced in 46.

You have to know that as a result you will advance the foil in 43 by 2cm and therefore make it more ardent. More alive and this beyond the small size of the stab. That’s because you will move the mast forward, so we know that the advanced fin is more manageable and reacts better to the efforts of the rear foot.

So this is what the stab changes. It’s not just lift like many people think.”
