This is a magic video. I'm biased,Aussie and Armstrong. I learnt a lot from this, thanks. Internationally I think your skill and presentation is unmatched. Keep enjoying.👍👍🤙
Thank you for sharing! watching your videos is a total inspiration! please keep the onboard tutorials coming. Can you do a video on wave and beach selection? Cheers!
No worries mate, appreciate the kind words! That is actually a really good idea, and something that could help a lot of people learning to foil. Thanks for the idea!
Love your “on the foil” tutorials Oskar! I’ve found the offset feet really helps stability through turns but I have my rear foot closer to the heel side rail. Do you think it matters whether it’s front or rear foot on the heel side rail?
Thanks Tim! The main reason I put my front foot towards the heelside rail is that it opens up my shoulders and my torso is facing more forward. This makes it easier to look over your shoudler through turns and spot whats going on behind you, especially if you're coming around towards white wash.
Hey mate! It really depends what you want from the HA wings. The HS1550V2 tranlates really well to the 1125 for the amount of lift, but it is a wide span wing so can be challenging to turn easily, takes some getting used to. 925 turns really well, much closer to the 1050 but has heaps of speeds and glide. If you want to pump/downwind I would size up and go to the 1125, but if you want something with more speed and control for powered up turns but still more surf orientated, got to the 925. Hope that helps! Yiewww
@@OskarJohansson1, it sure does, so much so that I just pulled the trigger on the 925! I'll be using it in the surf. I suspect it will work in a broader range of wave sizes. Thanks for your input, Oskar. I've watch many of your videos and they're very helpful. Cheers from the beach in northern Oregon, USA.
@@OskarJohansson1, btw, have you tried the HA725? I was just watching a video by 86kg foiler Sky Rama prone surfing the 725, and he's carving it up in small waves! Looks AMAZING! Search YT for "Armstrong HA725 Prone Foiling Test Runs"
I’m 10 sessions in an so stoked I found your channel.
Oh stoked to hear mate, I hope there are some nuggets of information in there to help you out! YEW

Yeah the south coast foil lord! I’ll try it this afternoon 🤙🏽
Yeah boss, we need a south coast weekend ASAP!
Thank you Oskar your advice is always so on point..
Oh stoked to hear mate, anytime!
Dude your channel is gold… Bitcoin quality gold… super helpful, thanks
Haha thanks Travis, if only it earned me some Bitcoin ;)
So helpful. Thanks!
Ur vids r th best! Mahalo nui!
Great tips,thx!.
What would also really help me is having a wave like that to play with :)
The beachbreaks i got are pretty bad for foiling.
HAHA can't argue with that. This bank was gutted by a recent swell so back to searching again for me..
Superb, thanks
Beautiful !

Love the videos man, keep them coming! Are you finding you’re riding the 1125 more than the 1250 these days? Cheers
It’s probably split at the moment, half half. I just grab the 1250 if I want to turn hard, or the 1125 if I want to pump around and ride tiny lumps.
Oh yeah 🤙
Oskar, I'm 180lbs, and I have the HS1550v2 and the HS1050.
I'm trying to decide whether to add the HA1125 or the HA925.
Any thoughts?

@@xyzct Awesome, let us know how it goes! If you can ride the 1050 then you will have no troubles with this one, but just more speed and glide. Yieww
@@OskarJohansson1, I will definitely do so! Thanks, mate!!

I’m just getting ready to figure out foil boarding, but what I’m understanding is you’re turning with the mast not the foil
Wich one you ride , the HS or the HA? Thanks!
Hey Roman! I ride the HA, almost 100% of the time now as well. Great pump and glide, but still turns really well.
