DUDE! you are amazing. thanks bud, humbled, truly appreciated.

Yeah all the new HAs have a little bit of it and it def helps for pumping. Luckily that means you can do smaller sizes so they are more fun to turn. What do you ride? Axis?

@OCEANBOUND1 I use North foils. Not on the newest generation, but I think they are great. Good value.

@@pheelers1831 right on! doesn't matter what you ride as long as you like it!! I wish you an awesome day!

thank you my awesome monkey friend. yeah the fact I have an 1180 is more for paddling but it's nice using it! otherwise I tend to think of my 880 as my light wind foil. if I need the 1180 or 1350 to wing, at this point I'd prolly rather be paddling!

Woot woot thanks bud! The one handed thing made my freakin day!! The little things… lol. Makes that 7m more appealing, also makes Duotone handles or booms more appealing in general. Hope all is well bud. Pretty damn flat over here but we are still having fun. I wish you an awesome weekend ahead!!

@OCEANBOUND1 flat here as well. we are away on a surf trip at Cresswell towers Northumberland 🏰 stunning wild camping ,wing ,Sup and fishing . Have a great week, and speak soon .

@@christomo no waayyy! enjoy bud! can't wait to hear about it!

Thanks bud I appreciate it! And yeah the 1675 isn’t bad but I’m growing out of it and that 1350 makes everything more fun. Stoked. The 755… I gotta get there. I will justify it once I start doing more DW runs. Appreciate it, I wish you an awesome week ahead!!

haha thanks bud! you should have zero regrets with the 1350! I' love that foil! LMK what you think when you get it. hope all is well, I wish you an awesome weekend!

Hahaha yeah no disrespect on the Ventis here! I don’t dislike it at all, I just haven’t had a need for it lately after I got the DW board and have been focusing more on that and newer HA foils. I was thinking about selling it in the last month but after this recent sesh, I reckon it stays! Glad yr digging it too! And no worries about the paddle ups… def not for everyone. I have this spot down the street from my house that is perfect for it, and it’s a total workout. So I’m hooked but I totally see how most will have no interest putting their mind and body through these efforts. It totally sucks until it gets better 😂 going deep right there. I hope all is well and I wish you an awesome day!

Thanks bud! I gotta try that Jam. It’s on my short list for sure, and I totally wonder if it comes close to any of the foils I’ve been using. Let’s ride soon!

Sweet bud I’m glad you dug it! You should have no issues with the 1180, it’s a great foil. LMK if you get it what you think! Thanks and I wish you an awesome day!

Oh dude I totally want to try one! I’ll try to reach out and see if they would send me one to demo. Have you tried the other sizes or just the 755?

Oh dude, yr gonna be stoked! Should be a huge improvement over the 1850 you know. LMK what you think!! Yr gonna want a smaller one like the 780. Enjoy, and I wish you an awesome day!

@@OCEANBOUND1 Eventually I will definitely add smaller ones as well, just have to save the peanuts for em :P

sup bud! yeah I think of the 1180 more of a surf and paddle foil, and my 880 is more my light wind foil. I can get out in less with the 1180, but I'm really not super into going out in wind that low. 13-14 is my cutoff these days, otherwise I'll paddle. I def agree with the wing size as well. that's why I haven't used that 7m Ventis in 9 months, the dw board and a HA foil make smaller 5m sizes work. this was my second attempt at doing speed trials on these foils, it's it's really hard to do speed runs and push limits when you are kinda underpowered. so that's why I brought the 7m to push speed, and I'm glad I did! thanks bud, I wish you an awesome weekend!

@@OCEANBOUND1Hope you have a great weekend as well. Yes it makes sense to use a big wing to push speed, and it is always interesting hearing your views and the reason I follow your channel

Best channel, hey there stef. What an awesome assessment of the 1350. Holy smokes. That is the combo 780 above 12…1350 below 😝 and pair with the new 100 Armie mid length for ALL (85kg rider) 🎉

@@Stefan-Foil thanks bud! truly appreciated.

right on, it's definitely nice. If I were all FOne I'd def have one or two in the quiver.

awww thanks so much bud! I like to think I'm keeping it real :P I wish you an awesome weekend!!

awesome, thank YOU! interesting you don't think of the 795 as stiff enough. I haven't experienced that but I'll totally try to notice if I can feel that in my next sessions. totally agreed, the evolution is real. the 1350 is kinda it's own thing, with characteristics of both it's the bigger APF siblings and HA cousins. I totally think I can pump it better, mostly cause the 1675 is so awkward that I tend to make a mistake on it, where the 1350 is a little more natural and as I get more tuned to it I think things will be easier to keep the pump going. looking pretty flat in the next week or so around here so there will be lots of paddling. thanks bud, I wish you an awesome weekend!

sweet to hear you are preferring the FOne gear! I def could be happy riding their stuff, I'm just so heavily invested in Armstrong that it's hard to jump over. I have more FOne stuff coming soon! I think I'm going to get to try the EagleX 1000 and the Eagle 1190... so stoked to try the bigger sizes! I loved that EagleX 700 for winging. have you tried one?

Totally! Have you tried the insta360?

@@OCEANBOUND1 no but I have seen footage and it is amazing. One question I have is how much memory do the files use.

awesome bud! I'm def into the 202 now, but I needed to use the 220 for a while to get to the point where the 202 got unlocked. lol. but def good once you are up and pumping. I think they developed it for dock starting and the apf so maybe it's more for flatwater party tricks but it's def nice and easy when practicing the leg pumping!

LOVE this. seems like the mantra of my life, whether I've chosen it or not. but I dig. loving the challenge, both physical and mental. thanks and I wish you an awesome day!!

no not yet. I was going to yesterday but decided to use the 880 instead. I'm going to do some speed tests with it in the next week or so, maybe that'll be my next video. the 1675 was annoying for me so I'm hoping this one feels better to wing with! thanks bud, I wish you an awesome weekend!

lol. thanks so much bud!!

thanks Chris! and the rabbit hole keeps going!!! I love it. this one is so similar to back when we started winging, but a little more patience was required, at least for me. good times, lol. I wish you and your crew and amazing weekend bud! I hope y'all are getting some wind!

woot woot! :P

@@OCEANBOUND1 hey Jeremy did I miss the reply to this?

@@rocketmarket684 yeah it was a double post, I responded in the other one as such: sup bud! I'm using a read and blue shim for all my stabs. every time I dial it back I get annoyed with the drag. I'm putting my new HAs and the APFs at 10 in the mast track. the HS and the MA I would put at 8, so it's a little more forward. that's what's worked for me, I've done a ton of micro adjustments from sesh to sesh and still come back to 10 with a happy face. hope this helps! I wish you an awesome day!!

@@OCEANBOUND1 wow, furthest I've pushed it is to 6, you're a maniac!

sup bud! I'm using a read and blue shim for all my stabs. every time I dial it back I get annoyed with the drag.

I wish you an awesome day!!

sup bud! good to hear you are moving in this direction! it's a trip, and I'm starting to really get addicted to the physical challenge of it all. so if anything, the one thing I hope to impart on people new to this is that it takes time and lots of effort, progress is slow and can be frustrating but just look for the little wins everywhere. you need to build stamina, power, speed and technique... it all takes time and won't come over night. you are lucky you have flatwater so close to home! every 20 min paddle sesh is worth it. as far as the stab goes, I think you are good with the 220! I did start to see a difference when I started using that, right as I was starting to get up on foil. the 202 seems to be better for me NOW that I'm up and pumping, but it frustrated me a ways back. I paddled the 180 again yesterday and I def prefer the 220 or 202 over that on the flat water, but mostly cause the pumping is just a little faster on the 180 and it's nice to have a slightly slower cadence. as long as you have it, I'd stick to the 1675 until you start to lift, and the 1350 just needs and extra paddle or two more. I haven't winged the 1350 yet, I almost did yesterday. I will soon, I'm interested to see how fast I can get it to go. keep me in the loop on your progress! I wish you an awesome weekend!

sup bud! and thanks! the 1675 was a great start for me. my friend is a little bigger and got the 1880 and that worked well for him, but def go 1675 unless you are a big dude. the 1350 could prolly be your first but will def be a little harder. LMK when you get that 1675 and start the paddle process! it's exciting and frustrating like winging! lol. thanks and I wish you an awesome weekend!

so I've used the 1180 maybe 10 times surfing and winging, and I've tried three times to paddle it up - twice on the flat and once on a cray day in bumps that were not steep enough. my technique is getting better, and I'm looking forward to the day I can paddle that up and make it work. I've been saying "I can't wait to get rid of the 1675" so I've been trying hard to dial everything in on that in hopes that I can soon unlock the 1180. then the 1350 comes in, it sits right in the middle, where I just happen to be progression-wise. so once up, the 1180 is great. good pumper, good glide, and decent turning for it's size. the 1350 is a great pumper and glider, turning is the sacrifice. so if you are using a wing, I'd say 1180. but if paddling, and still kinda new to that, the 1350 is great. I hope that helps. LMK what you end up getting!

@@OCEANBOUND1 Cool thanks for the details. Still leaning 1180 I think. I'm only 68kg (so it should be a little easier for me than it would be for you), and my technique is half decent (I can downwind the cabrinha 1050 but just barely (I eventually make a mistake and never connect more than 2-3 minutes at a time)) Just looking for something that has better lowend than that cabrinha 1050... just hard to say if its enough for me to flatwater start. I totally agree with you that regardless that if its a party trick or not, its still great training for the legs and to dial in pump technique, so flatwater startability is a must for me.

@@ericfernand yeah I certainly aspire to paddle it up… I will some day!! Getting close, been a month since I tried. If you get the 1180 you will use it. You can always add the 1350 after if you are frustrated. LMK what you get and what you think!!

sup bud! interesting you find pitch control an issue with the 70 fuse. I've only tried one once and it was a waaaay smoother ride, slower to turn and seemed more stable as far as pitch goes. so it seems like something else going on here, but shims on the 70 could be a lot different than the 60 I ride. less shim should stabilize it and point your nose a little more down. I guess let me ask you... what board are you on? where are you in the mast track now? and is breaching your main problem? also, have you tried other foils or only Armstrong MAs?

@@OCEANBOUND1 hi thanks for getting back to me , I have a gong KUBE 95ltrs 4’6” think it is a freestyle board with feet on forward strap position , mast in centre . I have a Armstrong ha 1850 foil that is slightly more stable . Breaching has been my main problem had some real heavy crashes . I think it is me not the kit it feels like I am on a balance board and after a few minutes it just hard work . I was told at the beach two weeks ago put the fuselage forward so I have more pressure on my front leg felt better but was 3.5 weather , last week I went out 6 Mtr was all over the place . I might go out a few more times then think about a lesson I am out of ideas .

sup bud! glad yr digging this one too! I do think wingtips have a lot to do with the ride, because things can vary a lot from shape to shape. but thickness and flex have a lot to do with it as well. lots of people are gravitating to thinner, more efficient foils these days. I take it they are trying to make them as stiff as possible, but thin means more flex. I like it, it's springy. and the higher aspect ratio, the more flex you will probably see. thinner and higher aspect ratio isn't always a bad thing. the new EagleX or like the Code foils are great examples of high aspect rations that can still turn and perform. but you do kind of learn after a while ways to make specific foils turn better... so I do think a lot comes down to skill. and you mention drag vs stall seed compromises and whatnot... it's been pretty interesting to see what companies have been evolving to in the past year or so. Armstrong has the new HAs which are much flatter in the middle, that's glide and pump, and the wingtips then are angles down more farther out, but that still gives it a nice turn and a little more stability. they have maximized everything (you didn't mention camber, but that's a big change to theirs) that their foils do except it took some speed out of the top end. I tried hard to push the speed on my 580 yesterday and only got it to 25mph, where my MA800 has no camber and I can get it to go faster. man this stuff is so interesting. I'm jealous you are making foils... that's the ultimate learning experience right there. people like me, just have to try and tune in to as many foils as possible to study their habits. i love a good challenge. hope all is well bud, I wish you an awesome weekend!

@@OCEANBOUND1 Thanks, Looks Like I have to wait at least another week for wind but every morning it's a little lighter. Meanwhile my annoyance at not getting out on the water converts to curiosity about what else I can make. I have a very small under camber concave on some of my wings but I usually fair it out with filler on the 3D printed models before I get around to making moulds off them. Anyway, designing can be part of the experience, very nice to ride my own gear but I have nothing on your level of skill wingsurfing and you set an example for a large proportion of us foilers that pushes all of us a bit more.

@@fluiditynz ​​⁠ aww well thanks for those words!! I’m finding all the work going into paddling very rewarding… days when it’s blowing 14 I’d rather be out paddling unless there were waves. So you could always make a pump foil! Teehee. Thanks bud, I wish you an awesome weekend!

Sup bud! I’m 77kg or just under 170lbs. The 75 is a great size for me. It is about a foot longer than my v1FG board but it doesn’t feel too long. I think mine is 6’1? No regrets here, I love it.

yes!!! I just acquired it, tanks to my buddy Dylan. it already has a gopro mount on it. I'll see if we can get him all branded up and will take him out soon :P

So smooth! I love riding chop and small waves with it, it does it all!

that's a tough question, but for me I'd say the 850. it seems to go fast enough to keep up with groundswell, still turns and carves beautifully. I know that 750 would be totally awesome but there would be some days where it'd feel kinda small. my friend bought a 750 as his one sk8 and he doesn't use it as much as he thought. I think if he got the 850 he would be out on it more. if all goes well, I should have the 1150 to demo in the next month, stay tuned!

@@OCEANBOUND1 thanks man! Keep up the awesome videos and stay stoked!

as far as I know, just the handles. I'm gonna try to reach out to Sam and see if I can get a few questions answered before I put out a review, this is on my list. thanks bud, I wish you an awesome day!

sup bud! yeah it def crosses lines all over the place. I'm stoked to try to paddle it on a glassy day. and yeah, Cloud IX would be sweet. two local friends rip on them... I'll see if I can do a video where we swap and I can get some first impressions. fun fact: I used to ride Cloud IX and they were the first foils I winged with before I moved to Armstrong. but those low aspect surf wings I rode are a world different that what they have going on now. I'm keen to try them, I'll make it happen!

@@OCEANBOUND1 cloud IX people seem to really enjoy then in australia for surf foil related activity, i spoke to a guy that tried a lot of gear and told me they were the best for surf foil.

@@youdigsurf I can imagine. back in the day (like 5 years ago) they were the best out there IMO for surf. new designs look like they are fast, efficient and carve well. my friends rips on his! I'll try to make that happen soon.

sup bud! still learning! I tried like in an earlier session like 3 times, but this sesh I tried maybe 40-50 of them. so this is pretty much the first session. I ended up making over 50% of them, way more near the end for sure but I think I nailed my first 2 or 3 in a row. I haven't watched any how-to videos on them, so maybe I'm missing technique, but for me the most awkward part was grabbing the wing with the second hand and lifting it back up. you could definitely practice the pass on land to get some feel for it. but nothing beats actually doing it cause there's more going on in the maneuver than a regular tack and you just need to get used to it. getting used to the wing leash change wasn't that big of an issue, but sometimes it can get annoying cause I find the wing leash migrates under my knees when I'm getting back up. but I'm getting used to moving it out of the way every time. that is the worst of it, and I don't see any other issues, so it's not that bad. will I stop using the FG? probably. I bought the 75L so it could replace my v1 75L FG. I almost bought a v2 70 FG and then these ML's came out. It's cracked so many times and in different places, my new goal is to drill some holes in the back to try to let water out, I'm so curious if it's holding water or not. after that I may just plug it up and either pass it on to a new guy for like $200 or donate it to a community boating program. unless my son gets interest in the next few months. I'm not in a rush to get rid of it but the ML gets up to speed faster and I don't mind the extra length so that's gonna be my daily driver. thanks bud, I wish you an awesome day up in Alaska! fingers crossed I get to wing up there some day!

@@OCEANBOUND1 great job in your progression and thanks for the feedback and tips. I didn’t get past all the tangling because I’m so used to using wrist leash now. But I started on a waste leash so I’m sure I could get that figured out sooner or later. I had an interesting path in that it took me two years to get my first jibes. And first day on heel side tacks then figured out toe side. Then lost heel side on my bad side. The end game on the back pass would be just what you said. Someday tacking onto a wave or wake and surfing out of it. Inspired by your video. Let me know when u decide to come to Alaska. Skagway was 37 knots yesterday. All day at least 25-30.

yeah I think it'd work great. you could prolly even go with the 85L and make things a little easier. I think if I had FD that would be my ideal setup. LMK if you go there and what it's like!

woot woot! thanks bud!! I wish you an awesome rest of your weekend!

thanks bud! so nice to finally be getting things up to foil, even if the flatwater paddle ups is mostly a party trick. but my legs are burning like crazy pumping, so I have so much work I can do build stamina. and it blows my mind the 75L can get paddled up! I can't want to try this in waves. thanks as always Rob, I wish you an awesome rest of your day!

Thanks bud, I’m just being me so that’s the plan!

@@OCEANBOUND1 me too 😉 very keen to hear about the 75ML with the 680 (as that will translate to 85 and 780 at my weight) It would be great to see that compare vs the duotone midlengths. Not buying the hype from either brand until real world reviews are in Cheers 🥂

@@wingfoilrentals right on! I should have an FOne ML coming in the next few weeks, I'm not sure what size they will be sending but I'm hoping something close to my 75L. I'll see if my wing dealer is thinking about getting any Duotone, that would be my deciding factor.

It’s hard to tell, to me the regular tack when you push the wing forward and upwind of you seems easier. Maybe cause you see the wing the whole time? That said, I started nailing these on day one but I did already know how to tack. But tacking took me like 1000+ tries. So regular tacking seems easier but maybe I should have started with these! lmk if you start trying these first and they come easy! Thanks bud, I wish you an awesome day!

@@OCEANBOUND1 Thanks. I expect I'll get it some time, I'm no talented whizz and getting older but still optimistic.😅

@@cheynedowsett hi!! I’m on my 3rd fuse in going on 4 years. So I upgraded to the v2 as soon as it came out, and then just upgraded again. The one thing I can recommend is NOT to wiggle it when you take it off. I didn’t know that for the first year or two, and the more you do that the more it can wear down the corners. If you are careful of that it should last a long time! I decided to get my current fuse cause I upgraded to the new HAs and also getting into DW so I wanted to start fresh.

@@cheynedowsett oh and yeah, the pump is def better. That’s where these things are in their prime. Sk8 is prolly faster.

Yeah it’s def a unique wing, so far so good. And yeah, it’s def expensive. I’m thankful they helped me out on it. Board is awesome. Another thing that hit me at the right time in my progression. Stoked! Thanks bud I wish you an awesome day!

If DW is the focus, def get a DW board! Or consider the 85L of these maybe? But my DW is 107L and I wouldn’t go much smaller if you are serious about paddling. It was hard at first and some days in big chop it’s still a little hard paddling but I feel like it’s finally pretty good for my skill level.

@@OCEANBOUND1 I was looking at the 85, I’m 80kgs myself and thought the extra volume might be useful. Do you think you could have gone larger for your DW board?

@@seanscott321 yeah def could have gone to the 120ish. It would have helped with stability for sure.

@@seanscott321 you can try my 75L whenever.

@@OCEANBOUND1 thanks man, I’ll definitely take you up on that one of these days, I just got a ha1180 and I’m super curious how it would pair with ML

Yeeeooowww! Thanks! You know how it goes… I had the footage and was so stoked, I had to work it in. But it’s awesome that it’s part of the paddle club. I can’t wait to try to surf with it, both with a paddle and prone. It’s gonna get a lot of use! How is yours? 55L right?
