Until now I've only used the alu 700mm, but I got the c650 with the stab, so will try that next time I hit the water :)
I'll chime in on this topic too! :) Today I finally got to try the C65 fuselage with the MA850V2 and S178 for the first time. Before that I'd been riding the aluminum 700 for quite a while.
It's amazing how much the new fuselage has improved pretty much every aspect of the ride. The whole foil finally feels light and effortless, without that slight feeling of drag holding it back.
I remember having that same smooth, effortless feeling with my old Takuma foil, and I'd been missing it ever since switching to GA and North. Both offered better performance, but somehow the ride always felt a bit rough. It only recently clicked that my Takuma had the fuselage around 67 cm long, while both the GA and North had 700 mm ones. So I took a chance, thinking a shorter fuselage might bring back that effortless feeling. And that's exactly what happened!
But the biggest difference was in jumping. With those 700 mm fuselages I just couldn't get a good pop. It always felt like something was holding me back during takeoff. Today, first jump with the C65 and WOW! The board just flies! :)
