Armstrong MA800 and HA780
zhlédnutí 114Před 2 měsíci
The MA800 and HA780 are my 2 go-to frontwings right now. In my opinion the best two foil quiver for most conditions. I mostly use the surf 205 stab with the MA800 for a stable, controllable and flowy feeling. Also reducerade stall speed and turn well rail to rail. Also use the 140 and 180 with the ma800. Those have better glide and the 140 is faster but less pitch stable. Last session I used th...

The new HA780 has proven to be a very versatile frontwing with a huge wind range perfect for the gusty winds we often get here on the east coast in Sweden. The low stall speed and positive lift response when pumping are great features since it's hard to drop down making it easy to ride allowing me to develop my riding towards being more progressive and trying new stuff.

Who said you can’t wing the 755 downwind foil. About 1 meter span and 755cm2. 13 AR The 755 with it's camber profile section and extreme high aspect has fantastic glide and both top end and low end. Turns well enough for swell and flatwater but too technical to enjoy choppy and wave conditions. Roll & carve is not the best tho but fun to do upwind/downwing in ground swell flatwater Corralejo Fu...

sick. I am stuck between getting a MA800 or a HA680/780. For 90% of the time I wing. I weigh 68kg and on a 56L board.
@@Hmanfoil I also have the ha780, it feels alot bigger. Ma800 is more like the ha580. For most people the new HAs are better, the ma625 and ma800 is more suktande for advanced wingers that do freestyle and carve hard on proper waves
I ran my own Windsurfing school and was experienced in the sport prior to founding it I informed my customers that a gybe was easier to perform than a tack -(Duck gybe)- as it is necessary to duck under the rig as it's swinging, and they agreed with me. Although it's beneficial to know how to gybe and tack both turning motions are important to know prior to getting started in it as then you feel more confident and safer whilst out at sea.
Hey, do the Armstrong foils work with the board.. enough track room to move forward?
@@sagefoils Yes the tracks are enough forward to work with Armstrong 👍
How do you like the 780 compared to other wings? Does it pump and turn really well? Fast enough? Cheers
@@cheynedowsett I use the ha780 in waves mostly when I want extra glide and low stallspeed. Its not as fast as the old 925, ma1000 etc but it has better pump and lower stallspeed. For winging I still prefer the MA800
@@Stefan-Foil Thanks, I am buying one mostly for prone but learning to wing as well, trying to decide between 880 and 780, cheers
Schaut zher stabil und kontrolirbar
Danke
how do you connect the Armstrong foil with the north board? because for me the north screws were to big for the arm. mast and the ones from Armstrong felt loose in the rail.
I use the Armstrong screws, never thought about them being loose just make sure they are tight. Although I have the perf mast with M7 screws I used the old mast with m6 before
Thanks 🤙🏼
Cheers from alaska. how is your air and water temp? what gloves? i have 780 on order for the windier days.. but i don't get that kind of swell.
Cheers! In this clip unusually warm with a few degrees above freezing. Water and air about 2-3 degrees C. Yes gloves is always the weak link in my gear. Kokatat Inferno 3mm mittens is the warmest but they wear quickly so now use these, www.surfspot.se/sv/nrs-toaster-mitts-2024
Great conditions,lovely swell,are you still windfoiling?
@@albertoespinosa2773Yes sometimes but having too much fun winging and got addicted to riding waves now but for flatwater still prefer windfoil
Good lyfe yeaaaa
Wie ist 6.5 flux hat er enliches geful wie 5.7 oder wegen grosere grose wenig spanjng
No it's totally different than anything I tried before, maybe more similar to a freestyle windsurf sail.
Nice mastery! As you've ridden both 114 and 130 wizard, is it ok for the 114 to carry a goya cypher 5.9 and a 5.2 ezzy cross or should I go for the 130? Thank you so much!

Hello Stefan. I contacted you earlier with a similar question, but I'm still in doubt. I'm currently windfoiling on my freestyle board, which has been adapted to fit an NP Glide wind foil. I can do jibe, duck jibe and sometimes 360, so I wouldn't say I'm a beginner anymore. I saw on Your channel that you also foiled on ordinary boards. My question is, is it worth buying a dedicated foil board? Is the foiling experience much better? I didn't have the chance to try such a board and you are the only person I know who has foiled both on regular freestyle boards and real foil board. I am thinking of buying JP Free Foil 115 which is very similar to your Wizard. Thank you!
Very nice. This is what I need.
Two kitsurfings working the kite a lot but they dont foiling. So… at least 12 knots. But is my opinion;) 12knots i can go with my 39cm fin 116l board and 7.8 sail easy! 80kg
Only one kite without foil, she had some problems to get the kite up if I remember correctly and also light weight. Most kitesurfers waited on the beach, no windsurfers bothered to even try. Its normally a popular spot. Anyway, there is a windmeter at the spot and it was super light winds so good luck with using a fin. Even if you could plane in a 12 knot gust it would only last a few seconds and you would slog for 10 min waiting for another gust. Edit: after looking at this video again I do say its 3-5m/s wind and a few gusts at maximum 6m/s (=12 knots).
@@Stefan-Foil but have you ever tired both setups at same time ? Like have the foil race with 9.0 and the freeride slingshot board and a 5 ou 6 M sail to compare each one has the earliest get up? Whould be Nice ;)
@@Stefan-Foil I see this now, there's some tradeoff between race/fast style and cruising/freestyle motivated windfoiling...feel free to disregard my other comment if you see, I think I have my answer!
Nice video. This is about where I am in my windsurf foil journey. It gives me encouragement lol
Looking Good Stefan! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah Bud! NIce duck gybes!
Respect, looks fun and beautiful! :)
Hey Stefan, Which foils have you used in the Wizard?
@danieltrenfield. Only use SAB 799 and 899
As you say at the end, you must open the sail gradualy as you turn in the gybe to the point that it is clew first when releasing/ flipping the sail. Took me a while to figure out ;-)
Stefan, how does this board compare with others that you may have ridden in the past (in fin mode)? I also see from their website that it is somewhat heavier than other fsw boards of similar volume. To you does the board feel (or felt) heavy? Many thanks.
Front wind is too big !
Yes, i know but should bevable to go faster anyway
Hi Stefan, What Fin setup are you using on your MB92 in this session? What area of Sweden(?)? are you foiling? Aloha, José PS very nice videos BTW
Thanks😁 I use a foil not fins. At the time I use a NP glide medium slim/hp13 with 70cm mast. I moved on since then and switched to SAB foil but not with this board though it has a tuttlebox. I no longer foil with this board. With 92 liter its not goid for light wind fir my 87kg and I swutched ovwr ti slingshot wizard 114 v2.
Hi Stefan, which fins did you use. 26 / 2x12.5? MB recommend 6cm side fins and 26. I got the 108l
@Michael Weidner I could not find 6cm side fins so i think I got bigger ones or just use it with a singel fin. I only use foil now and different board (slingshot) since over one year so dont know. In this video I use bigger fins than normally since its onshore so hatd to get out. Also have a 19cm fin.
Hello, what size harness lines do you use/recommend?
Cant remember but I normaly use 22-24"
Look like great fun! Can I ask for how long have you been windfoiling and what's the usual windrange for your kit? Thanks!
3-4 years. Any wind from 12 knots to 30 knots with 5,2 to 3,6 freek/foilfreek. Same board wizard 114 and foil w799 in every wind
@@Stefan-Foilaloha and your weight how many kilos do you have my friend?
Nice video I’m thinking about buying the W799 and I’d like to know the wind range of it, specially how capable it’s on light wind.
@Eduardo I use it in all winds from light to strong with maximum 5,2 foikfreek.
@@Stefan-Foil finally I got it and I use it like you in all winds conditions
Hi Stefan, nice Foil Clips. As I see you have experience with different Foil Setups, I like to ask for advice. I am 83kg, use mostly 4.7 and 5.3 Wavesails with 82L and 106 Thruster Waveboards. I have a Isonic 133L and a Fanatic H9 Foil with 65cm Frontwing, but don't like the bulkiness. I would like to buy a one Board solution. Maybe the MB- WildCat 98L. Also for traveling with one Board and two Sails. Would you recommend this? Or go with a dedicated Foilboard, as is see you often use that Wizard 114. Really appreciate your ideas. Greetings Franz
Hello Franz, Unfortunately there is no one board solution. The wildcat is close but not as good as the wizard board for foiling. Its also no waveboard, it a freestyle board with foil option.
What was the wind speed? And what about the rider's weight ?
HI. I think you had in the past a goya regular windsurf board for windfoiling and now you have an specific shorter foil board. I'm about to take that step. I'm sure manoeuvrability will be much better but the take off in light winds is better for the bigger tail or worse for the shorter length? Let's suppose same volume and sail size.Thanks
The short foil soecific board is a gamechanger. Better in every way 👍
@@Stefan-Foil I'm a bit curious about this as well. I windfoil and windsurf on a hybrid RRD LTD 155 2023 board and Slingshot Hover Glide FWind V4 2023 foil (has 1534 cm^2 front wing, low aspect)... it seems great, but if I get more into foiling, specifically looking at top speed, is a windfoil specific shorter board better for that also? Especially in light or extremely light winds, 5-10 knots, which is where I see myself foiling the most. Or, to put it a different way, is a "better" way to increase speed to find a higher aspect front wing and possibly other parts on the foil? OR: change to a foil-specific sail? I use freeride or wave sails from Ezzy currently. Also, nice maneuvering in the video, I was not sure about bigger sails as much due to their higher weight, and you seemed to not need the power so much. I may still stick with going big on low wind speeds just to max out on speed / upwind ability and sacrifice maneuverability myself, but interesting to see it's possible. I like 8.5 m^2 in those conditions, me weighing in at 64 kg.
This is all very interesting mate: smaller sail, smaller front wing, 6 mt/second wind speed....I'd rather talk "knots" normally and would like to know how you did measure that....by anemo-meter or just "nosemeter"? Anyway this seems to be a "miracle" and wuite easy, doesn't it? The real question is what is your weigjt and how long you have been practicing windsurf foiling? Without these two answers, small sails small wing....small wind means nothing to me.
Look in the description, I just added my weight, 85kg at the time, (clipp is from last year) There are ways to estimate windspeed by looking at the water state and there is also a windmeter at the spot. I use a big foil but sail is not ideal, I now have a better sail, Severne foil freek, I need even less wind now. Biggest size i need is 5,2. 👌
Hi Stefan, i am working on the same issue too. At the moment I have reached 28,5kn Toppspeed with the 800 Frontwing from Starboard on the 115 Plus Fuselage with the -1.5 Degree Shim on the 255-2 backwing. My Sail was a 7.0qm Severe M3. My Board is the same as yours. Last times I switched to the smaller Frontwing 650. I pushed really hard, but I didn't reach higher speeds. I think I have to switch to a smaller Fuselage (95, 105) and less Backwing angle (-2)and maybe a smaller backwing. At the Moment I hook out in the strongest gusts because I have not 100% control in the gusts. I think I have to stay hooked in and really sit down in the harness to get more speed. But in gusty conditions this is really hard on the edge. I think that more downhaul like in Slalomsurfing works great for more speed, like in Windsurfing too. Sailtrim and Mastfoot position is very important for me. I always place the Mastfoot way to far in the front for the first speed rides and reduce it step by step till I find a sweet spot. Then I try to ride foil nearly in a slalom position, but more sitting to press the foil down. For me this works and I hope I reach the 30knots soon. But you will need 20+ knots for this.
28,5 knots top speed is very good with the 800 ving. To go faster I think you need to use much smaller wing and backwing and shorter fuse. I think its easier to push your speed when you are a little underpowered on the foil but with bigger sail to compensate. Then you get more control but not as good upwind/downwind.
Can you please comment on the length of the fuse. The longest I have is a 70cm. I am an advanced windsurfer, and have been foiling with kite and wings for a couple of years. Do I need a longer fuse (more than 70 cm) if the purpose of my windfoiling will be upstanding cruising manouvers and downwinds??? I am not interested in speeding upwind or racing!
Nice what foil are you using?
Awesome videos. I’m looking for a small high wind (20kts+) Severne sail for use with Starboard X145 and Severne redwing foil on a large lake with good size wind swell. Would you go Blade, S1 or Freek and what size?
Gear? Slingshot?
yes, wizard 114. Severne blade sail, np glide medium slim
Nice looking sail what size?

Flottes Teil, ich habe mir das gleiche Board gekauft und bin gespannt.
Yesterday I was thinking that It was too cold for foiling in Alicante Spain in January🤣🤣🤣.Big respect
Never too cold to foil, just need a good wetsuit
Its a SABFOIL 799 freestyle foil
What you got underneath that thing? Axis?
Hy. I am impressed, and I promise I'll never complain again about cold in southern France. I see you sail a foil freek. Is it much better than a regular freestyle sail ? Is it so much gust neutral compared to a wave sail ?
It's very similar to a normal freek. Just a bit lighter with only 4 battens and some other foil specific features, like its more pull and backhand neutral. Compared to my blade wave sails it feels softer and has more power but turns flat when you depower. I think upwind the blade is better and when you sail more powered with smaller foils (race wing). But I really love this sail and can recomend it, I only have a 5,2 but use it like 90% of my sessions. It's very closed in the top but you can still sail in gusty conditions with a big windrange without getting easily overpowered, just pick a size smaller.
