ARMSTRONG ML MIDLENGTH FG BOARD REVIEW WITH BILLY BOSCH AND LAITHAM KELLUM

[@OskarJohansson1]

Yeah boys great comparison and overview. Couldn’t agree more with all the comments! Yewww ripping

[@jeffg8243]

Well done! Since the Portal is in the background, any comments on how the Enigma stacks up to the new Armstrong mid-length? Much appreciated.

[@FoilOutlet]

Discussed it in the video! ML is a little skinnier and boat like. Probably paddles a tad faster but a bit more wobbly when getting up.

[@jeffg8243]

@@FoilOutlet Thank you!

[@FoilWays]

You didn't find 17" to be a little too narrow on the 45L? I have a 65L for wing at 19" wide and I think it's great. Been wanting a 45l for prone, but I'm concerned it might be too narrow.

[@FoilOutlet]

It took a session or two to get used too but no overall feels good at that width. Definitely an adjustment compared to other regular prone boards

[@FoilWays]

@@FoilOutlet Thanks. I located a 45ML. I'm not sure yet as I'm considering trying out my 50L wing board prone, first. But I'm definitely considering one.

[@FoilWays]

​@@FoilOutlet I'm super torn between the 45 and the 55ML. Can't seem to make up my mind. I mostly want it for prone. I paddled out yesterday on an Appletree Slice V3 50L and it just doesn't paddle very well. It's really not designed for it as it's 100% wing board. I'm 185 and I'm learning to prone, but I've been surfing for 25+ years and I have countless hours on foil winging. It appears I should be able to duck dive the 55 in up to head high surf. I was able to duck dive the 50L Appletree in shoulder high stuff yesterday just fine, but obviously not as easy as my surfboards in the 35-40L range.

Forgot to mention I'm 185lbs / 84kg.

ripping!!

Hi, does the foil drive gen2 works well in terms of connectivity with the board? Did you tried?

[@FoilOutlet]

New video review covering exactly this coming later today! Stay tuned!

[@FoilOutlet]

See our new test video!

[@gregoryhalbart3176]

Hey gang. Have you tried the 55 and 65 liter boards and what’s your thoughts on paddle power, pumping, and as wing cross over. Thanks

[@FoilOutlet]

We have not since stock has been limited. But they certainly look like they will be insane for both while holding them and getting the experience from the 45L. I think they will be great for that.

[@petercook7798]

Curious why so many people use the HA’s for surfing instead of the MA’s which is believe are supposed to be designed for surfing?

[@FoilOutlet]

The HAs pump way better! The MAs surf great and for waves with some power and size are usually better. But when riding small stuff and wanting to connect the HAs work better

[@teamkuruvilla]

What front foils were you using? 880? I have ordered a 75 l mid length to learn to prone foil, I wing and tow foil alot, have 1180,980, MA 1225 and 1000 currently, which would be best with this board?

[@FoilOutlet]

We were using the ha880. All the HAs work great with it! Let’s us know if we can send ya one!?
