Armstrong HS1850 Vs Gong Curve (Pro) XL

[Thatspec]

Holy cr*p, that is the 70cm mast too. Massive wing for that little kid, maybe even a 2XL?
I appreciate the opinions guys, I only have hit or miss 4g internet this week though.
Probably will just let the 70cm arrive, could be helpful at least getting up on foil for downwinding. At worst I sell it down the road.

Clearly I am going to have to pick up a Curve T in large as well if it really rides like an XL (Suspicious )

[Thatspec]

.... or is that a new size of carbon mast between the 70 and 100?
I just can't tell, the kid is pretty short so it could just be the 70.
Could tell the XL-T is 2100sqcm and 102cm span though

Yeah, gotta remember that Malo gets a lot of prototypes I'm sure. But yeah, I'm def ordering the L-T as my next wing. I was torn between the Curve and Veloce. They must've heard my bitching.

Went ahead and canceled the 70cm, any day now they may announce a new 85cm carbon mast, plenty of people were requesting one on their forum. Unfortunately I've developed an issue with my hip that might keep me from foiling for a bit anyway. Winter plans are really in flux for a number of reasons...

Won't keep me from ordering an L-T as well depending on specs, based on the XL-T I'm assuming it'll be about 1600 / 85ish span.

I only saw it in video and wing foil group on Facebook. We need a damn French logistics person (I may take this on, actually) there's got to be a better way to get this stuff. What part of the country you guys in? We might need a Gong Buyers Club.

I sent you a PM on combined purchase possibility.

Whoever sees the Curve-T show up on the website first, please post the link. I've checked several times and don't see it. Sometimes they put stuff where you wouldn't expect.

Wish I could commit to bringing back a load but the way things are over here (Deutschlandia) I couldn't say when I'll be able to go anywhere, much less the US. Enjoy your relative freedom.

Listed with the pro curves thanks

Found em, thanks. Pretty big gap between the XL-T and the L-T but went with an L-T anyway. The XL-T range I have pretty well covered and for 249.17 Euro, it's practically disposable

Wanted to mention that I've recently returned two items to Gong and had great customer service with super fast refunds. A board bag that I bought way too oversized I just shipped back and then the recently cancelled 70cm mast pre-order. My card was refunded in less than 12 hours from my first email on the mast, even made four bucks on the worsening exchange rate

Didn't get this at first, the "T" series are supposed to be in between sizes as well as higher aspect.
Explains the large-ish gap between the XL-T and L-T. Higher aspect ratio makes up for a surprising number of square centimeters.

Had considered just getting the Axis 910 to compliment my 1010 but never got around to it. It would appear the L-T should have very similar lift and glide to the 910 at my weight AND be easier turning. If this new setup works out (Veloce's for the larger sizes and the L-T just in case) I may end up selling my Axis kit. Will keep an Axis 75ish mast and top plate though for the Gong alu fuse mod.

Couple of pics of the Large Curve Pro-T along with the Veloce XL and XXL for comparison. Unfortunately the phone camera distortion is noticeable, the XXL Veloce is bigger than it looks here. The thinness of the Veloces is impressive to the point I'm a little concerned about snapping the XXL.

Got one on order. Cannot wait. Thx for this.
