The perfect wing?
- Lightweight material: Aluula, Dyneema, N-weave, UPE Aramid?
- Ideally separate valves for centre strut and leading edge
- Ideally no windows
- Hard handles. Longer front handle? Boom?
- Pulled-in wingtips (lower AR?)
- No yellow please.
The Greater White
Armstrong Midlength FG Board 85L since July 10, 2025. Dimensions: 6'5 x 20 3/4" x 4 7/8", or 196cm x 53cm x 12.4cm Weight: 6kg, as at July 10, 2025 Next impressions (after 10+ sessions) This board sparks joy! Good pressure on wing = foiling! Point it downwind and it quickly gets to foiling speed. Easier to translate gusts into forward momentum due to longer more directional profile Didn't feel much more swing weight than the FG90 . Rode it in 20kt conditions, did not feel cumbersome! Somehow it feels easier to pump. Probably more leverage longitudinally. Retains sensitivity to foil Same hard tracks as the FG90, and same settings! Seems harder to muscle a direction change when touched down So easy and fun to pump off a swell now. I've been missing out! ML85 (left) vs FG90
