The new Curve plays to its strengths while increasing the pace, as evidenced by Pierre’s readings, which exceeded all his expectations.

Wing foiler: Moritz, GONG team rider, with a Curve Set-up.

“These Curves offer a really impressive low range, handling, top speed compromise!”

“Irregular wind ranging from 0 to 20 knots side-off. Me: 97kg Gear : Plus 6m 2023, Alu V2 mast and Fluid H 45 stabilizer, Lemon 5’2.

Always just as easy to take off (like the Curve XL-H, XXL-H and XXL), very easy to handle, the jibes and tacks are a formality and the lulls at less than 10 knots when exiting a maneuver does not put the flight in jeopardy 😳 as long as we pump a little when it drops below 8 knots 🤪. For the rest, nothing very extraordinary, except that it is also very fast contrary to all expectations! 😂

During the session in a gust of 20 knots I sheeted in beared off (110-120°), the foil whistled seriously and I thought to myself that it would show on the reading but that it would probably be a disappointing figure… Well no, the figure did not disappoint. We can clearly see a plateau of around 20 seconds between 19.4 knots and 20.5 speed (with a drop in speed when I crashed at the end 🤣). I thought I could not exceed 17 knots with this setup and I have a lot of peaks between 17 knots and 18.5 knots in this session. These Curves offer a really impressive low range, handling, top speed compromise!
