Sky Rama shares his first run on the new Armstrong Foil MA 1225; his new favourite big wing span foil comes in at 93.5 cm wide.
“It turns extremely well, and after this drone clip I turned out some tip sprays at this size you can ride out smooth without dropouts or resetting. The sustained glide is impressive and is definitely a perfect balance all-around foil wing for the small surf, and with the short fuse and 212 or v tail, you can whip it well, yet still get great pump and glide.
As in this video, you can turn flat days into epic days with the right foil size and efficiency. It was a perfect day to test ma 1225 and get into a chill flow state.
This foil is very user-friendly yet pushes high performance as its very steady and fast and rolls rail to rail smoothly. What I like about this foil is it so well-balanced and does everything really smoothly; the leading edge is much sharper than the HA foils! Id ride these head high to ankle-bite-size waves. It will probably replace my 1125 ha as I love the turns on 1225. The pump-to-turn ratio is impressive am happy to see the evolution going where I have wanted it for years.
Here I am riding a 795cm hp mast, 1225 ma, 50f, v tail, no shim.”
