Subscribed. Interested to see the difference in mast stiffness & torsion. Would be interesting to know if both are made in the same facility.

Apparently the F4 is made in the "Sonic" factory, for what it is worth.

If you are referring to Sonic Composite Technology in China, then it is the same factory as the IQ foil.

I thought it was okay. A bit of a Chet Atkins vibe.

Great video, Kasper. I have one on order. And I liked the music! Beats landfill EDM! Steve just loves his Roxette and Bucks Fizz too much.

Ha ha got me there. Actually it was more like Benny Hill.

Those rear stabs look tiny.
Is there really a lot of drag using a bigger stab, or is smaller stabs just more stable at higher speeds?
Using almost flat settings.

Looked at the video finally.
What I was handed to look at by Chris was a much narrower and more curved rear stab than in the video.
I did handle one of the standard small stabs, which was flatter and wider wingspan.
I'm a broke old man, so way out of my purchase range.
Maybe I'll just lay up 10 layers of glass....or sort thru my collection of 40 odd fins.....and do some chopping and bonding?

I have tried to switch, the stabiliser from big to small last time out, second time on the F4, the smaller one removes some power but didn't see a big difference in speed, harder to jibe because of less power. Still getting to learn the F4

My 210 stab is arriving mid week.
I hope to gain top speed when powered up, knowing I'll lose some early foiling.
The racers around here all use around 900 sq cm foils mated with around 200 sq cm stabs on 115 fuzes. They get up really early even in 14 knot breezes.
