{"product_id":"tail-2026","title":"Freefoil Tail","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eSelect from three tail sizes based on your skill level and preference. A long tail feels stable and forgiving, whereas a small tail feels quick and responsive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eIf you're new to foiling, it's best to start with the longest tail, since this slows down pitch motions and gives you more time to react. This is tail is also great for letting you relax on long-endurance efforts, and is the default tail size that has shipped with the Freefoil since 2023. As your skill improves, decreasing your tail size will offer reduced effort at higher speeds, faster pitch response, increased maneuverability, and more clearance for rock starts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you're already a pumpfoiler on a fairly small stabilizer, you might want to go straight to the shortest length. To estimate what size you might prefer, you can compare it to your current setup with the following formula:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePitch feel = stabilizer area x (stabilizer moment arm)^2\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stabilizer moment arm is the distance between the aerodynamic center of the wing and the aerodynamic center of the stabilizer (640mm, 520mm and 400mm for long, medium and short tails), and the stabilizer area is 340 cm^2. All of the tail options have the same stabilizer area since this was found to give the biggest reduction in drag for a given pitch feel.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eThe short and medium tails come with wing covers. The long tail fits in the pocket of the travel bag and does not include a wing cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beta Foils","offers":[{"title":"Long","offer_id":55017108078883,"sku":"tail-2026-L","price":570.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":55017108111651,"sku":"tail-2026-M","price":535.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short","offer_id":55017108144419,"sku":"tail-2026-S","price":500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/3106\/6659\/files\/640_tail.jpg?v=1777566623","url":"https:\/\/betafoils.com\/products\/tail-2026","provider":"Beta Foils","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
