I’m using a Slingshot Wizard 114 liter with W103 mast and PTM926 (about 1200 cm2) and the 400 stabilizer, which I like.
This summer on holiday I rented a windfoilboard with a smaller frontwing a Duotone Aero Free 1000 cm², aspect ratio 6,8 which I liked for going a bit faster.
Changing frontfoil and/or stabilizer is much faster than rigging a new smaller sail when the wind picks up and also boosts the speed.
Although I like the PTM926 I was thinking going smaller to Sabfoil 909 (about 1000 cm²) or even Sabfoil 808 (around 800 cm).
On the other hand I have the 3 smaller stabilizers of Slingshot I have not really used.
I was asking myself would the 360, 340 and/or 325 stabilizer have about the same effect on a 1250 cm2 frontfoil as a 1000 cm2 of 800 cm2, or is this quite different.
I was told much experimenting is possible with stabilizers.
I guess I’m a bit lazy for changing gear, especially on sea where it takes me a half an hour to get through the shore break.
Any thoughts ?
