Armstrong Wing FG Board 90L $2,900 (with board bag and footstraps) since Mar 9, 2024 Dimensions: 5'4 x 23 1/2 x 4 7/8, or 163cm x 60cm x 12.4cm Weight: 6kg (6.7kg as at 13 Dec 2024) Review after using for >9 months: Gets on foil quick and with minimal fuss More direct connection to foil; I know what's happening underfoot Need to be lighter on my front foot, cos it's easier to sink the nose than my previous 98L board Little touches of luxe and thoughtful design. Examples: the way the nut slides into the tracks in only a specific direction, titanium-plated screws, titanium washers, comfy yet minimalistic footstraps

  Spitfire 1030 $955 Skinny 365 $294 Black Adv Ultrashort 640 $381 Total damage S$1,630 1st impressions, relative to: 1150: whole lot faster, nimbler 1201: carvy-er, but the 1030 requires a bit more wind (1kt?) to get going More "talkative" than the 1150 on turns and swells. Perhaps due to foil being very much closer to mast.
