- The new Armstrong XPS sail has just landed in Australia and I managed to get one the first sails out off the container!!
Straight from the Post Office I take it for a run to see if it is worth the hype!!

Nice review thanks.
I hope it was useful 😅
Actually as I kept watching your review…I like the way you present it..seems personable..
🙏
Nice review! Can XPS 6.1 be my first wings, I just started, have 100 kg and board 110l. Can I use it from 13 knots? What is your advice? Or maybe to start with some bigger wing?
No, it’s a great wing to use, easy to handle and love its performance.
Great video David. Curious about how powerful the wing is, say compared to similar sized Unit? heard the XPS suffers from poor low end, though it shouldn't given the higher canopy tension.. Cheers!
Thank you🙏. Horses for courses probably! Honestly, it handles differently but once used to it, not a problem!
@@WildGooseAdventures Thank you David!
Great review. How does it compare to other deeper wings like f-one CWC 6m?
I probably need to do a comparison! I do appreciate the extra tension in the canopy and certainly the radial design will give longevity to the structural integrity. I’m really looking forward to north launching a 3d wing- I suspect that will be a game changer!
Great vid. Why you say not good for first wing? I already ordered the 5.3 as my first wing.
Great-have fun. It has a lot of drive for ire
Sure. I just found it very fine tuned and perhaps lacks the general all round qualities when learning. If you don’t know anything else it may be helpful and once your flying it exceptional! I’d love to hear how you get on.
Hi Jesse, with these rigid wings it takes some technique to get low-end performance. Especially when the profiles are flatter than on comparable wings. It probably just takes a bit more wind to get going. I already love my 4m XPS after two days of winging. I probably get a 3m and 5.3 as well. Have fun with the 5.3, it#s a great performance-wing!
Shame man, you ride fone foil on Armstrong gear 👎
Ha mate, keep watching- the switch is undergoing 😅
