Hello, First of all, Happy new year. Sorry for my english I speak french but there is many informations in this forum. I kite and race paddle for few years. Just begin foil and I can fly behind a boat but not very long distance with fanatic HA1500 foil. I just bought a Naish foil HA1800 but the dealer sell me with the stab 320 (no HA) because de HA310 is not available. My question : is it better for a beginner to learn on a HA1800 with stab 320 or stab HA280 ? Will the HA 280 match with HA1800 ? Or should I send back the foil ? Thanks
It will be fine especially if you're a learner IMO.. A friend of mine is using the HA1800 front with the non HA rear and he keeps raving how much he likes that set up.
I've tried both with my HA1800 and although I didn't notice a big difference the HA tail did feel slightly faster but you will find the HA front wing is so fast making learning harder so a slight slowing and a slightly more stable tail should be good for you.
Rear tails are not that expensive and can be bought later once you've gone through the learning stage if you really want that extra bit of speed.
