A couple of weeks ago SABFOIL asked me if I wanted to try something new. 3 days later I received two packages and I soon realized that they didn't exaggerate with the word "new". The SEA DEVIL 1040 and 840 is a whole new concept, trying to combine attributes and characteristics that have never been combined before. Every foil is a compromise and if you aim for more lift and low end you will consequently sacrifice agility and playfulness. Using a unique foil layout and a smart adaptive tail solution the SEA DEVIL promises the glide and low end of a larger foil in way more compact design. Every SABFOIL SEA DEVIL comes with two different tails: A longer, more traditional tail with something you could call a fuselage and a stabilizer and a tiny tail, more like a knob with the only purpose of closing the attachment point for the first tail in a more hydrodynamical way. Using the larger tail will add ease of use, make the SEA DEVIL more accessible for beginner and give you more glide and low end. Opting for the smaller tail will turn the stealth plane like front wing into beast mode, unleashing never seen before agility. Is this too good to be true? Join me on this review to find out!
