My 2cents... If you've already got the 232 tail, just stick with that. I started on the 300 and moved to the 232 and don't see the reason why you would want to go back to a 300 once you're past a "beginner" phase. I don't think learning to ride switch will be significantly easier on the 300 vs. 232 (and the 232 will give more glide speed for the gybe). Just practice more :-)

Thank you kiwiupover and FarNorthSurfer. I think more time one the water, speed, glide and riding the foil not the board in the jibe is the key. I experienced a wobble in my 85A+ mast with the CF300 I never felt with the HS232. That`s annoying. The idea was to +shim the CF300 with the result of more speed and stability. Is there someone who has tried this?

I'm running an HS1850/CF300 with a 0.5 deg shim. I'd say it feels more loose and 'slippery' through the water, not more stable though. Had the shim in for about 10 sessions and will try the 1 degree soon for comparison. The shims should have come with the stab and it only takes a minute to fit them - give it a go!
For info I'm 85kg on 95l board.

I started using a .5 shim (blue one) on the 300 tail after a couple of months learning to foil. Made it a little faster, but once i tried the 232 i sold the 300. I don't see the point of the 300 tail after you've started using the 232 tail. if you can foil ok on the 232 i don't think there is much benefit going back to the 300. The shimmed 300 is not as good for glide and speed as the 232.

But, I see in your first post that you're on a windsurf/WINDfoil board? If that's the case, it's probably a pretty big board to control. A WINGfoil board will be smaller and easier to control. When i was learning, even switching down from my learner 6'4" wingfoil board to a 5'8" wingfoil board made things easier for me gybing and riding switch. If you're on a windfoil board i can imagine the extra length is that much harder to conrtol through gybes etc.

My board is a Naish Hover S26 110l. I am a windsurfer, not my board for winging :-) I think it's fine for my weight (94 kg) and suits nice to the Armstrong foil! I think I stick with the 232 to learn my jibes. Thanks for your advice!
