What We Like
  • This board paddles bigger and rides smaller than the dims say on the board.  With all that bottom shape, the board takes off on waves really easily and comes unstuck from the water.  Once on foil, the board feels sporty and nimble.
  •  The quality fo these boards are top-notch.  When you pick it up, you can feel that the board is made well and is solid.
  • The deck is mostly flat on these boards.  That gives you a lot of surface area on the board to move around on for tacks, jibes and more advance surf moves.  It gives you a nice stable platform to stand on.
  • The inserts are a nice add so you can cross over to foot straps for some extra hard ripping.
  •  The tracks are set up in the right place so you can move the mast forward for a little extra lift surfing and back for a little less lift kiting and towing. You can also mount any type of pedestal mount foil on this board.
  •  The board comes with front and back EVA deck pads.  The front pad is left off so you can stick it on if you like pads or wax it if you don't like the front pad.  The tail pad has the two side parts stuck on and you can stick on the centerpiece with the kick tail where you want it.  You can also get the Adjustable Carbon Kick Tail which you screw into the inserts and you can move the kick tail depending on where you want it.
  •  Paired up with the Armstrong foil, this board and foil combo is crazy solid feeling.  Super stable and very user-friendly.
  •  The chined rails have a deep concave shape to make the rail thin. This thin rail is really easy to grab for duck diving and popping up.
  •  The crazy bottom shape of this board make it deflect off the water when you touch down the nose or rail at speed while kiteboarding. All other boards stick and you get launched. With the Armstrong, the board skips back off the water with no loss of speed or control.
Insider Info
  • Surf foiling these boards on the Armstrong 1200 they ride best in the #4 position.  For higher speeds you cane move it back to #3 position.
  • The sizes and volume have been really well thought out to hit a wide range of riders and conditions from the super responsive 3'11 to super easy to ride 4'11.

High performance foil surfing

I thought initially the 3'11" would be too small for prone foil surfing but after catching a few waves on it I was surprised at how well it performed. It feels small while paddling but you get used to it after some time and where the small size lacks in paddling stability and volume for easy wave catching, it makes up in performance while surfing on foil. Pumping feels effortless once you're up and it feels easy to make tighter turns and changes in direction

Magic carpet ride!

When I grabbed the 3'11" and the Armstrong 1050 to take a sunset session, I had a big awakening. I thought I was just going to jump on this thing and go, I had another thing coming. I rode the board with the Armstrong straps, and immediately when I put my feet in them the board felt small. The nose of the board just disappears. My first few attempts to water start resulted in some nice crashes and stuffing the board, this was a different animal than I was used to. I settled down and realized that the smaller foil was the real challenge, I had to get that foil up to speed quicker than I was used to and the smaller board did not help me carry any float if I didn't get foiling right away. After a half dozen attempts I got in the rhythm and got it down. Just like anything it takes timing and technique. Once up and riding the board felt amazing. Really light under foot and very responsive. Straps and deck pad were very comfortable, feet felt nice and connected to the board. Paired up with the 1050 this board was a sports car! Pumped really well and when I did come off a foil the bottom shape would help you get quickly back on foil. I don't think this board is for the beginner, but for the person looking to push their foiling and maybe get in the waves this board is sweet.

Great kite foil board

Really liked the stiffness, response, and mobility of the 3'11" Armstrong board. I rode this board with a 1200 wing in 9-13 mph winds on a 12m CORE XLITE and was ripping. At my advanced skill level, the size was perfect and durable feel was refreshing compared to the Liquid Force Galaxy board.

My ideal kite foil set up: Armstrong 3'11" with 1200/800 wing and CORE XLITE.

My only complaint is that the front of the board had grip tape instead of a traction pad. The Armstrong traction pads are so comfy and low-profile, I don't know why they would decide to use grip tape instead. A tiny complaint, for such a killer board.
