For a 240 lb wing foiler deciding between two setups and need first-hand experiences on which is more rigid, has a better connection, and higher overall quality.
Option 1: SAB Foil 84cm Red Devil mast (no core, HM carbon, T8 fuse connection, potential play in the mast plate even with QR and screws) paired with their new monoblock plane to be released in a few days.
Option 2: Code Foils 80cm Plus mast (UHM with core, tapered to fuse M6) with their plane.
I ride mainly in ultra light winds and 18-30 knot swell conditions. Has anyone (especially heavier riders) used both or switched between them? How do they compare in stiffness under load, connection security, and build durability? Thanks!
Where did you end up? I'm wondering the same thing about the new Sabfoil Blackbird UHM mast. I'm the same weight at 240lbs and currently on Cedrus but looking for something stiffer to handle larger spans.
Which Cedrus (classic/evolution) and (carbon/aluminum)? What length?
I have the original carbon clysdale 82.5 and the evolution wind 82.5 works great for my phantasm 926 and 999, but looking to switch over to a new brand as phantasm is discontinued. Looking to use wider span wings, but have heard at my weight the Cedrus will be too soft. Did you get Sab gear? I can get a good deal on the blackbird UHM mast, but not much info on it, other than its 20% stiffer than the previous Sab mast.
