Evening prone foiling session the wash away the work week (and what a week it has been).
Decent conditions - good energy to ride, wind to cool things down (but not wingable), and a nicely high tide to avoid hitting bottom.
No.21, the Progression 170, the new asymmetric rear stab, the 14.875" rear stabilizer I normally use, and the 68cm Cedrus mast
I tested the new stab first. It is definitely looser turning back side - there was hardly any resistance throwing the tail around. But that did translate to a noticeable loss of lift. On toeside, I felt like I could grab more water and wrench my turns just as hard as before (this side of the stab is nearly the same as my normal stab).
At the halfway point, I went in a changed out the stabilizer back to the normal one I use. And just like that I was able to float around with not a lot of hard pumping and still carve the shit out of a rolling wedge of energy.
I have the asym placed on top of the standard
After the first test, I'd say this is a good stab to use when the waves have energy behind them and it's going to be a carving session (GL140, Vyper 170, Kujira 980). I'd also like to try it winging - especially since I switch around alot and will be able to see what each side does.
Tomorrow morning the wind is supposed to be low... Foil Drive -
