Had a first go on the S178v2 tail. Really nice combo with my favorite frontwing ; MA850v2. Getting a bit more glide out of the 850v2 now. The tail feels a bit more alive compared to the v1. Really nice.

Giving this thread a bump😀.

I recently bought the S178v2 to replace the S178 (v1) . I pair it with my all time favorite MA850v2.
It's horrible! really, the V2 is incredible unstable, hard to control when you push it a bit. Really disappointing.. in chop or in waves its even worse.
I quickly switched back to the V1,

I read good things about the S145v2, do people use it with the MA series? since its officially a surf stabilizer?

Its really sad nothing new gets released by north, foil wise..


I was considering buying a secondhand s178 to cut down and try , but then i had the opportunity to get the newer s158 v2 very Loose
i mostly pair it with the 850 mav2 or the 600 mav2 ,(when windy enough for my 3.5mt wing ) but lately have been loving winging with
the Dw 750 / s158 v2 or the s142 glide stab but if the wind is light just swapping out the stab for the s208 or the s178 makes a big difference
in low wind takeoff ..ps i find the dw750 lifts off earlier than the 850 mav2...... lightweight @60 kg.....
