Key Features
The Sweet Spot
A perfect balance between our Prone, Wing, and Downwind boards. The Mid-Length excels on small or light days with great paddle power and easy release to get you on foil quickly. It paddles like a rhino chaser and transforms into a shortboard once airborne. Forget about choosing the perfect board—just get on the water and enjoy the ride.
Optimal Dimensions: The perfect blend of glide, stability, and maneuverability ensures maximum time on foil, even if you’re not a pro.
From the Shaping Bay
Outline: A pointed but not overly sharp nose, gently tapering midsection, and pulled-in tail make for an efficient glider for prone paddling into small or large surf. It also works remarkably well when winging, making it an excellent light wind machine.
Rocker and Rails: Progressive rocker from the nose to the foil tracks enhances liveliness and touchdown recovery, while the tail kick makes for easy pumping and clean launch. Soft front rails progress into harder lines at the back for efficient flow and balanced tracking.
Bottom Contour: Drawing from Downwind boards, a subtle double concave at the nose transitions to flat at the foil tracks and a diamond-V tail for quick pop-up and un-stickiness.
More Grip, More Control
Deck Grip: Tailored for maximum control and comfort, the deck grip includes raised arch bars and elevated wedges for intuitive foot placement.
Proven Construction
Structural Rigidity: The ultra-stiff double skin carbon PVC sandwich, combined with Armstrong’s i-beam dual stringers, ensures maximum rigidity and durability.
Carbon Fibre Foil Tracks: Integrated into the stringer fibers for unparalleled durability and performance.
