Actually I love this format. Very straight to the point. Questions were well posed and kinda cut the b/s and give me the straight answer. Very good. Thanks for sharing that

I like the comparison format. This is good info. I’ve used an 8m CWC V1 and I agree it was forgiving and light in the hands. However my favorite wing is my XPS 5.3. So this video gives me a good sense of the new Armstong wings. That said, ever since I got a DW board, Ive found that the XPS 6.1 is good down to 10 kts so long as I can wait for a small puff and I pump a bit. Would love to have an XPS 7.0 and 8.0. An APF 1880 would be a dream too. Maybe Santa will hook me up.
Thanks for the video 🤙

Very helpful and to the point - thanks!

If you were over 200 pounds, would you use the APF 1675 or 1880 instead?

[@REALmattnuzzo]

Yes for really light air you can go to the APF 1675 at your size. 1880 will be too big.
