Training with a 107 cm race mast has really helped me. Now I don't feel nervous riding high on an 85 cm mast anymore. The challenge now is figuring out how to ride as high as possible on the race mast too. 😄

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I've now been riding the Gong V3 Slalom 500 cm² with the smallest Slalom stabilizer and the V2 107 HM mast for about 10 days.
The foil has more low-end power and lift than the V2 Slalom 500 cm². So it follows the same pattern as the other V2 → V3 foils in general.
I've really liked it. My top speed so far has been around 27 knots with the 6.5 m² Virus Chase wing.
The mast occasionally ventilates or suddenly pulls to one side, but even though I ride strapless, I haven't crashed because of it. I'm trying now to learn to ride as close to the surface as possible now, so I get less mast ventilation and more speed.
