Which are you referring too? The Wing FG?

No. A new board family is coming. Volumes up to 85 L and width in the range of 17'' (for kids ?) and 21'' aprox.
No one tried them yet ?

I saw them (unfortunately did not try them) and i must say they are the best looking boards Armstrong ever made.

You seem to know more than anyone here so why don't you let us know. I have never heard of them and I try and follow everything from armstrong.


Paging Eppo, is there something new on the horizon

my fax machine hasn't stopped all week .

spotted at sail GP event, DW shape with strap inserts.

Omg, looks sweet

Interesting to see as the smaller board makers are already making and selling longer and skinny wing boards. Will be interesting to see who of the big suppler of wing boards get it wrong for 2025

Armie's new mid-length looks good. Their current wingboard aesthetic is so bad not only the shape but how it looks.

Armstrong is a luxury brand of foiling gears so it should perform well and need to look good. Like a Porsche.

There is one thing we can say for certain, at launch date there will be the regular list of Online Pro's flooding the internet, quoting words like "gamechanger" and " up your level"

The picture is no more working, do you still have it?

Nice lines! I'm replacing my 60L FG with the 55L for my daily driver. Keeping the 40L V2 for cranking conditions and going to the air. 65kgs dry here.

Anybody know how wide and long they are?

At a guess


But I could be wrong

Still not enough volume for 110kgs.Have to shed some kgs or just learn how to stink bug.Similar sizes to Sunova Carver biggest 6'2" 95L,but with better plan shape.Keen to see the hull shape.Probably bit similar to the DW hull shape.

Do they come with foot straps inserts

pics show them - i'd assume so

I struggle to understand who are this boards for..
85kg here, thinking of lifting a 85L but the question I have is what do I gain/lose compared to the KT Dragonfly 7'4 105L I have?
For me early lift in sub 10kt is the #1 requirement and it is not clear whether these midlegth such as this one, the Sunova Carver and the new KT midlegth will be as efficient as longer DW boards.
If people who tried them bot can chip in, I'd be v grateful

DW board ride like a DW board but mid-length ride like a wing board with extra light wind performance. Ride feel is totally difference.

For a reference, my opinion based on my experience with Sunova Aviator DW 7'2" x18" 103L and Sunova Carver 5'10" x 20" 85L

In very light wind DW board still have an edge but other than that the Carver is better. I don't have any sinker because at my spot the wind is generally light and inconsistent.

For me, 7'6 wasn't sporty enough winging.

6'8 felt very sporty.

6'2 felt even more sporty, but lost some momentum, smooth flow rail to rail and pump.

So I settled with 6'8.

Meanwhile my tiny wife, found 6'2 to be her magic size. The 6'8 was too sluggish, even though she does admit the 6'8 has more momentum and pump.

5'5 was a hard no for both of us.

Find your sweet spot.

Hello Dwight,

I wonder if you'd rate the Sabfoil Torpedos at 6.3/19.9/100l and 6.4/110l already midlength compared to purebreed DW boards ?!

thx, J?rgen
