Sonar Stabilizer

Sizes: S178 / S208 / S210 / S270 / S320

Sonar S178

Includes:

Stabilizer, Cover, Stabilizer Screw Pack C (M8x16mm)

Description

Flat, loose and even faster, the new S178 Stabilizer is a high-speed upgrade to the Sonar Foil System for experienced riders. We recommend pairing the S178 with Front Wing size HA950, or smaller. The S178 has a higher aspect ratio than the S208.

Features

• Top mounted for early breach recovery​
• Carbon pre-preg construction​
• Thin profile section for reduced drag​

Materials

• Pre-Preg Carbon

Sonar S208

Includes:

• Sonar S208 Stabilizer
• Sonar Stabilizer Screw Pack C (M8x16)

Description

Flat, loose and fast, the new S208 Stabilizer is another high performance upgrade to the Sonar Foil System for experienced riders. The S208 has a higher aspect ratio than the S210, which means less drag, and the flatter rondure (front view) enables more manoeuvrability. As we’ve increased our front wing range, we’ve needed to match the lift force of the front wing with the stabilizer. While your front wing creates vertical lift, your stabilizer has a downward acting force, which prevents the front wing from nose-diving. A larger stabilizer translates into more front foot pressure, while a smaller stabilizer equals less front foot pressure. The North stabs are mounted on top of the fuselage, which helps them to avoid turbulence from the flow of the front wing, creating a smoother ride. This top mounting also gives the rider an early breach warning - the stab pierces the water surface first, giving you a better chance of recovery before your front wing gets too high. Like the Front Wings, all Sonar Stabilizers are pre-preg carbon construction, ensuring optimal stiffness and direct performance. The thin profile section reduces drag, while the material properties help maintain structural integrity and rigidity. Stabs have a huge influence on performance. As you progress to smaller wing sizes, we recommend changing to a smaller stabilizer to be more manoeuvrable. Experienced riders will really feel the difference. A new tail can have a big impact on your style.

Sonar S210

Includes:

• Stabilizer with cover
• Sonar Stabilizer Screw Pack C (M8x16)

Description

Exceptional glide. Our new thinner profile and higher aspect ratio carbon stabilizers offer reduced resistance and a more efficient outline. The S270 is your go-to for all round kite, wing and surf performance, offering optimal balance, speed, efficiency and control. Pair the S210 with a smaller front wing for high-speed performance and a more agile feel. Pair the S320 with a larger front wing for early planing, greater balance and stability. 

Features

• Clean undisturbed flow
• Easy breach recovery
• Thinner profile
• Higher aspect ratio
• More efficient outline shape
• Less surface friction for better glide
