I switched from lift 200 classic to Armstrong 1550 with the 232 tail wing. Only two sessions on it. Thing is way more stable for me and pumped better. I’ve been foiling since January. My goal is ride a wave pump back out and connect waves. Not an easy goal. I also wanted to be able to travel with it. My lift is all one piece as far as wing fuselage and tail wing. Mast separate. Armstrong I have friends that made the same switch from lift 200 and instantly improved. So I based my decision on their experience. Same size as me or bigger so I went for it. Thumb screws I think will allow me to adjust for wave conditions. Further forward on small days back for bigger days. That’s what I learned so far. Plenty more to learn.

Kai impressive as usual but I really don't like the air/strap thing, I'd rather see him doing big carving turns with flow and speed and top turns with the same lines as hight performance shortboarding (more vertical).
Go both days? I agree.Should be interesting to know what you thinh of the 760, it should turn better for sure but the big question is the glide, the speed, the pumping.Yeah it's the rollerblading vs skateboarding argument. Or on BMX/Fixed gear bikes, brakes vs no brakes. I'm anti-strap too, but man do they look fun.
In other news, I've got a demo 760 wing on my way! Super excited about that. Should I work today to clear my schedule and hope it arrives tomorrow so I can try it then? Or do I try and foil today since there are waves? Bird in the hand right?
Yes Evan is really nice, Adrian also, they always listen the feedback they get from riders.
who right now in your opinion is the best at surfing like you're describing here? would be cool to see
@kdmaui would be my pick. I can't make the link to his most recent video on his site work. Maybe this one will.
From what I've seen on socila media, seems like Kane, Adam, Mizo are the best to me. Looks like foilwizard is not using strap on his latest vid but he only does smooth carving, with his straps he throws big air/blow tail.@kdmaui would be my pick.
@foilwizard maybe?
@skyrama
It used to be @mizofernando but he doesn’t post much anymore.
