HOW TO: CHOOSE YOUR STAB !!!

Just like the Front Wings of your Foil, the Stabs are an element not to be neglected when you want to upgrade your Foil to continue to progress. At GONG, we offer a wide choice of Stabs so that everyone can find the one they need according to their weight, their level and the style of gliding they are looking for. Here are some technical elements that the L’Ours shares with you on our Forum:

“Hello,

The subject of Stabs is vast but easy to understand with the right keys:

1/ It must be proportional to your weight.

This is obvious in the extremes, because for example, I am never good with small Stabs for my 100kg.

2/ It must have a shape adapted to your desired average speed. There is no point in having a very fast Kite Stab if you’re flying at an average speed of 12 knots.

Where it’s going to get complicated is in the choice of people with an average size and an average level. Typically 75kg jibing in the air. And yes, you can take it all 😉 So how do you do it? Move from one step to the next. You started with a big sSurf Stab : take the size down, then move to a Veloce, then to a Kite. Step by step, you’ll sell in three clicks the one that is not used anymore. Your progression will be smooth and without any break in sensations.

Thanks.”
