Does the span on the ultraglide still roll well, or is it more of a smooth carvy turn? The reason I chopped my ha stab is because I could it took a lot of roll out of the silk foils. Added efficiency was nice but the turn just wasn't my style. Much prefer it chopped and find it more efficient than the 152 but doesn't sacrifice too much in the turn and has more low end than the 132.
Going into my winter travel season I'm getting kind of tired of traveling with my monoblock silks and wondering if I can get away with a single enduro 900 for travel. I use my silk 850 and 1050 equally (although much prefer the 850) so figure I need to split the difference. Really didnt love the enduro 700 (great when it worked but if it wasn't very powered it wasn't fun). Hoping to find a better balance in a bigger size. Hmmm
The Glide has zero issues with roll. I've been surf-foiling in chest to head high waves and was able to do exactly to do exactly what I wanted- just faster!

Agree. the UG41 is night and day vs the HA tails. It won't roll as well as the Silk tails but it's the only AFS tail I use on the Silk 1050 and Enduros and is an absolute dream on all of them.
Anyone else splurging on a 600 when it comes out? I get the feeling it's coming any day now and I am torn on if I want the friendliness of the 700 size or the likely higher speed and more aggressive surf of the 600.
Yep ![]()

I hope you give us a rundown if/when it comes and you get it! Season is closing down here for any real chance to test something like that.
I rode the 700 again though and yeach, that is such a fun foil. Fortunately a buddy gave me his as a long term loaner so I don't have to decide anytime soon.
