Armie Armstrong came to visit the REAL Lesson Center all the way from New Zealand to give our REAL Pros an in-depth Foil Clinic and tech talk. In this first part, we discuss the Mid-Aspect line including the development and benefits for riders.

Great info session...love your work🤙

I was so impressed and respectful of the design and engineering that I sold my Moses setup and purchased all new Armstrong gear the day after this tech talk. I have never been so excited to foil. First impression is that the Armstrong products are AMAZING. Everything from the bag that the foil package comes in to the assembly and hardware are aerospace quality with NO flaws of any kind. Then there is the foil performance. I purchased the HS series and first ride was a very very connected feeling to the foil and its easy to feel the efficiency of the wings under water. Smooth, carving, slow and fast speed are exceptional. Thank you again Real Watersports for everything that you do.

you should check ketos foils (french) if you like desing, although they do not have so many wings as Armstrong

Nice one Armie!

Hello, I have a Naish Hover S26 85 liter board. How do you think the Armstrong MA1225 will work with this board? Will the mast have to be located well in front of the rail?

[@larsdegroot]

Only downside for me is, compared to other brands. You have to completely unscrew the whole foil to fit it in your car. And everytime have to set it up again. With my North foils, i unscrew 2 screws and leave the whole foil intact. 2 minutes and i'm ready to go.

In the CS larger range, how much difference is the V1 (affordable) to the new V2?

[@REALmattnuzzo]

The v2 has a lot less drag and more glide. Basically more usable speed range.

I have a HA1350 which I am having a hard time riding. Will chopping off the wing tips make it easier to ride? if so how much of the wing tip can I chop off with out ruining the wing?

[@REALmattnuzzo]

What issues are you having? Chopping the tips will make it turn quicker but not easier to ride. I struggled with the HA1325 and 1525 when I first used them until I got them on the performance mast. These foils have so much span that they tax the standard mast. The performance mast makes this foil much more stable and easier to use.

[@widmarkeloo6812]

@@REALmattnuzzo yes that’s the problem. I lean a little and try to turn and the board goes straight.

[@widmarkeloo6812]

@@REALmattnuzzo also what do you think is a good wing for tow surfing max head high surf. My Weight is #175
