After riding Brenden 2540's Blackbird setup I was sold. Compared to my previous foil, his rig was super controllable from the minute it took flight. Went for the carbon mast for longevity and stability.
First ride on the Cruze yesterday along with the 95 fuse and 98 carbon mast. Board was the 85 wide SB Freeride Foil / sail HG4 8.0. Wind was from the south 10-12 knots.Nothing but praise. Stability ++, great up and downwind and super nice on a beam reach. Overall, a great plug and play foil for those that are after a performance free foil setup.
