Comparing the Armstrong Midlength vs. Armstrong Downwind boards

Matt Nuzzo rides and reviews the new Armstrong Midlength 100L board back-to-back with the Armstrong Downwind 106L board in some light wind, and talks about the differences in ride and accessibility.

As usual very informative video, thanks

I have the 140l. 200 lbs. it is amazing. Great for lightwind and high wind. There is not much board in front of you with the mast track that far forward. Picks up speed quickly so you can use a smaller hand wing. A little tippy side to side but got used to that. I really don’t see the need to go to a smaller board. Paired with the 1180/220 it has been amazing for all conditions

Thank you always for your HONEST reviews 🙏

Great Video Matt. I dig my 106 for marginal conditions

My friend we have much different definitions of light wind. Hahaha. Drove down to Real in Hatteras from NJ to pick up my 8’5” 130 Armstrong DW board on a day trip. Amazing board, love it. Btw if you go down to the shop, you’re not allowed to go into this foil garden unless you’re renting one of their apartments. They’ll send you up to another shop. Odd, but it fits the vibe of yuppies in BMWs, Lexus and Volvos. Not surprising, who’s got 10 - 20k to blow on a hobby like this. I would imagine the locals hate the shop and its clientele. Still glad I drove the 28 hours to pick it up in person though.

Thanks for another great review 👌🏼
I know this video was focussed on winging, but if you were a beginner SUPaddler and had to pick between those 2 board for SUP DW, would you take the Midlength due to increased side to side stability? Cheers

Great video for a great board!
One question, what brand is your hoodie? Is it dry fit?

[sanfordewing]

Matt- Good video. Ballpark how many kts was it blowing? Looks like you had an 8M wing?

[Fjordjumper]

Thanks for this. What length mast do you use (recommend) there in OBX?

Hi, have you tried ml100 with foil drive yet, and does it need the antenna?

[SimonMander]

Hi really enjoy your reviews! I'd be interested in a comparison of sayt the 75L or 65L midlenght board and a short 40-60L traditional wingfoil board like your FG. I'm using a 75L Naish (12-30knts wind) and a 110L Axis DW board (7-15kntsw up to 20knts on the DW)- like the ideq of a 1 board quiver so the Armstrong ML concept appeals - like using foot straps in a breeze. Find the DW board very manageable in 20knts (2.8m wing and 850cm2 foil) just no straps!

What’s your weight please Matt?? in reference to your comment feels “too big for me”
