DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
The ARMSTRONG MIDLENGTH FG rides like a foil surfboard: expect clean take-offs, a long glide, and a truly connected feel to the foil. You'll experience the board accelerating smoothly before take-off, then maintaining a stable trim in flight. The ride feel remains lively when loaded, with easy power delivery as you re-engage for your next turn.
Sizes and how to choose
The range covers 4'9" (38L) to 6'1" (75L). If you prioritize handling and a surf-like feel, choose a smaller size, around 38-55L, depending on your build. For extra volume, travel, or light wind sessions, opt for 65-75L. Always consider your riding style: more volume aids take-offs in light wind and downwind.
Construction and What Makes the Difference
The board features two I-beam stringers that run through the structure for added stiffness. The foil tracks are integrated directly into these stringers and made of carbon, improving power transfer. The pad has micro-cuts and a rear kick pad with markers to easily position your back foot and reference its placement over the tracks.
On-water behaviour
The board offers a stable glide and clean take-offs. Its narrower tail and fluid rails help maintain acceleration before lifting off. Once flying, you have excellent control to adjust your trim. In surf foil or downwind, the shape remains playful, making it easy to pump and connect multiple sections.
Who it's for / level
The ARMSTRONG MIDLENGTH FG is aimed at allround riders looking for one board for different types of sessions. It's perfect for intermediate and advanced riders who like to switch between disciplines (prone, wing, downwind) without owning multiple boards. It's also an excellent compromise for travelling riders looking to cut down on their gear.
Buying advice
Choose your size based on your weight, riding style, and local conditions: lower volumes are best for surf and maneuverability, while higher volumes are ideal for light wind starts and downwind. Check that the tracks are compatible with your foil, and use the markers on the kick pad to set your foil position. The product code is ZG-PGL-6721, and the board includes a fitted boardbag.
