@jeromesurffoil7033 I think the low end is a little less 2 to 3 mph than fluid, and you have to work a little harder to get up bit then it will fly through the holes in the wind no problem , and the top end is about the same as fluid . I have the new 2022 curve coming soon so will test that next week or so as well .

It’’s seemed pretty light condition, congrats ! Was the wind onshore ? Rip to the fish. Are you stocked by the glide of your new curve how does it compar to the old fluid ?
@christomo
Жыл бұрын
It was cross to cross off shore wind 14mph average so light for my 95kg cake and cheese figure 😅. A fair bit more glide than the fluid and much faster and more predictable I'm out in 15 to 30 mph winds on next one I'm editing. Can't wait to get some swell to try that's where it will shine. Thanks for watching 👀 appreciated 🙏

I don't know. I don't notice it whistling much as I play music while riding and always have . I think there is some noise, but I always enjoy it. I think of it like turbo boosts noise and embrace it, lol 😆. Thanks for watching I'm just finishing up the edit of my first session thoughts on my new gong lemon 2023 5.0ft.

Hey Chris. How does the Curve H XL compare to the Fluid XL-H? The Fluid XL-h i know is a little wider wing span (112 vs 105) but the Aspect Ratio is the same. Curve H XL is 1300 sq. and the Fluid is 1500?
@christomo
4 ай бұрын
I'm sorry I have not used the fluid h foils, but my understanding of them is that they are faster, in the top end, and you can put the tip out when turning. However, with a higher stall speed. I use the curve h foils because I can get on foil in low winds, and the curve just glides and has a really low stall speed. Due to the volume of the foil this thickness really gives a amazing stall speed but at the expense of some top end speed I use the freestyle stabs to shorten the fuse length and speed the curve h foil up, and it turns very well for its size. The curve H suits our local conditions of wind swell chop from 2ft the 5ft 8 seconds and glides from swell to swell with ease 😀 So in short curve h for choppy swell and fluid to go faster in more real waves would be my goto . I have just bought the curve xxl h what a dream in 2ft to 3ft still turns fast full review in a few months and first look video soon

@@christomo Thanks again. I actually just got the 79 HM from them. (Aluminum Fuselage) Have not even used it yet. I am just getting into waves actually. Been riding wind swell in a large bay by me. Going to get the XXL first. Will start in the small waves.. I also follow Jeremy from Oceanbound. He rides super small HA foils. I feel more stability with the bigger foils. i have a Armstrong set up but they are just so expensive. my Gong HM mast was more than half the money. the front wings from Gong are more then half as expensive too.

I love the freestyle in large fast rail to rail and more maneuverable faster pumping cadence if you want a bit more glide and stability with a slower pumping cadence a fluid h in large or xl

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I'm on the 85 aluminium mast I wouldn't say it is any less stable than my curve xlt front wing I can feel some play while riding but no more than the xlt I'm 95kg, so I can put some force through the set up . A H.M mast would be nice but not in my budget just now . May feel different in the waves test to follow so watch for that one 😉

7 kn is very low im sure you can get up in the gusts and will keep flying ok in the lulls even on the xl h mind the xxl h would prob be better you will gain in speed I'm thinking about getting that or xxxlh or maybe the xxl curve v2 there great in the low wind as well.
