I loev your videos. Less fancier in production values compared to some others. But so spot on with the content. And such honesty... without spurting out the typical adversitising material from the brands.
Hi! Great review and comparison! I have a question. I broke two wing sup 50 litre boards while freestyling. First, the side of the board under the major front foot cracked. But it was easy to repair putting a nice and strong carbon patch. After a while the foil box crashed. Disassembling the foil box we found out that the foil box was not tied to the back foot inserts and the white foam in-between was smashed and soft…. The carbon stringer reinforcements did not help. They just were not directly glued to the box. The second board repeated the same path. First the side of the board under the front foot cracked. It was fixed the same way as the first board. And then the board started to suck water under the back foot strap inserts. It seems like the inserts were pulled up and caused the delamination that opened the way for the water inside. I just want to ask about the construction of the new board. Has there been any changes in the board construction inside, such as thicker and more appropriately glued stringers and a tougher foilbox? The boards are really nice but extreme jumping and freestyle kill them all (
We don't carry the Appletree boards in our store so I don't think that will happen. We do however have a second video coming out on Armstrong Midlength hopefully the end of next week, stay tuned. Thanks for watching our videos, have a fantastic day.
I use the 50ltr sup and on light winds is use the 60ltr...does the 58fg will work as my only board...Iam 73kg intermediate wing foiler able to jibes, tacks and surf small waves
I switched to the 58L Wing FG from the 60L Wing SUP, the narrower width took a little getting used to (stability on the water) but once you have that figured out it makes getting up on foil easier as they generate speed better. I'd say the 58L would be a great everyday board for you, I'm 190lb (~86kg) and use the 58L for the majority of my riding. If it's REALLY light and you want a dedicated quiver board for light wind I'd recommend the 65 or 75L Midlength, those boards take off super easily in light winds. Feel free to give us a call at the shop with any questions! -Riley at KPS
Definitely a lot of boards like that coming out. We've been riding the Armstrong Midlength and will have a review out on that soon. There are pros and cons to every shape, just depends what you are looking for in a board!

Wow thanks for the feedback, we are definitely trying to be more casual with our reviews. Thanks for watching, have a terrific day!

KitePaddleSurf, This made me so happy! I liked and subscribed!
Awesome glad to hear you liked it and subscribed. Thanks for watching!
Need a comparison with the new mid length downwind board and also the V3 Appletree see them all side by side

What is your opinion about taking off in light winds between 58lfg X 50lsup? The add volume compensates the narrower width ?

Sickest microphone EVER! 🙌 Yeah boys.
The Stab makes a perfect MIC, thanks for watching and leaving a message, have a great day.
Everyone else seems to be going narrower thinner and longer which seems to make a lot more sense.
