Hi there -- thank you for checking out the video and for the comment. It's been hard to make the stocking decision on ML boards given our conditions here. I'll try to get my hands on one so we can review for you. Hope you're getting some great winging days in Best Half-Life Crew

Interesting point. Either the mast or the fuse. I'm guessing Armie had a reason. When I rode it -- it was solid. No vibration or downside to the design choice. We typically would feel any looseness in the first 10 turns -- didn't happen. Solid. Thank you for checking out the video! Appreciate it! hope you have a great foiling summer Half-Life Crew

Hi Gorillam2 -- Thank you for checking out our videos and I'm glad you're safe. You can find our full 'how to foil' playlist here: ruclips.net/p/PLX8JNpzm5TVstDxHuWvSRyza-2_HtVmZG This should give you a great resource. Just drop us a note if you need any additional help. Best Tim

Yes! Get a shorter mast. Typical for wake foiling is 72cm or so. We ride a performance 795 mast from Armstrong but that's as long as we would recommend. If I remember right I'm on the 84cm front wing....but it could be the 99 - regardless - slow moving. For the 76 infinity - about mid track should work depending upon your size. Here's a video of Jeff and I talking slingshot that may be helpful for you: Mast Position - Half-Life: ruclips.net/video/8Oo0VnAtzSE/видео.html Jeff mcKee of Slingshot: ruclips.net/video/-uFKEW23dmU/видео.html Hope this helps!

This video will help you out. Yeah - it gets confusing between the 84 and the 76cm. Here's Jeff (Slingshot) and I talking about it: ruclips.net/video/-uFKEW23dmU/видео.html

Interesting feedback - thanks. It really depends upon your skill level - happy to talk you through it. Best Half-Life Crew

Thanks Giroux - absolutely agree. Thanks for checking out the latest video. Best Tim

Thank you for checking out our video. I had to use Google Translate for that one. Happy foiling! Half-Life Crew

haha -- yep - - pretty amazing. Fun to ride as well - but expensive. It's a great fit for the right circumstances. We get a kick out of riding them. Best Half-Life Crew

Thank you! We appreciate the feedback and you checking out the video. Happy riding! Best Half-Life Crew

@powderproject13 -- feel free to email halflifet.5@gmail.com or call us (909) 698-0401 to discuss if you'd like. I don't like making general recommendations before understanding your wake, ability, and typical conditions. In general -- the HAs ride a bit big. So - without knowing your particulars - I think you're good on the HA680 or HA780 depending upon the factors above. Look forward to hearing from you. Best Tim

Yes - prone foil surf boards are different from what you will wakefoil with behind the boat. Here's our Armstrong prone foil surf boards. Give us a shout if you want to talk size trade offs. Although it says 'sold out' - we regularly get new inventory in so just let us know if it hits the mark for you. www.halflife.live/products/armstrongwingsurf Best Tim

@@HALFLIFEVIDEO Thanks for the info!

Lol - I hear ya - it's not for everyone. You certainly can get more family members on to a Jet Ski at once! That said - 100% different experience. The e-Foil really is for those who want to enjoy the sensation of flight on the water. Hope you find a good jet ski and have a great summer. Thank you for checking out our video. Best Half-Life Crew

Hi Richard - thank you for checking out the video! Glad you're having a good time out there foiling. A couple ideas for you: 1) Add a 50cm fuselage to your quiver -- fun for HS1250 and the HS1850. 2) Add a V200 tail to ride with your HS1850 - it will loosen the ride up 3) Be sure to increase your pump cadence when you go to pump the HS1250 -- its a quicker cadence and keep it high! Now....to answer your actual question. Yes - the MA1225 (I like it with the V200 tail) is very responsive and has more glide than the 1250. Just remember to move it up in the mast track compared to the HS. You could also go with a MA1475 but it sounds like you'd like a looser ride. We have it all in stock so if you'd like to buy from us (which we always appreciate) just drop us a line -- email Halflifet.5@gmail.com or call us at (909) 698-0401 Best Tim

Hey Brian -- we can help you with that. Roll from the tips of the wing - always being careful not to 'crimp' the leading edge. Once you roll from either side - I typically fold in three. If you'd like we can do a instagram video Insta: @halflifet.5 If you decide to follow us - drop me a note and I'll do a quick video. Happy Winging! Tim

Tim, I think that’s what I’ve been doing but it’s still too long for the bag???

@@HALFLIFEVIDEO Hey Tim, did you ever do a video on how to roll up the XPS lightwind?

This video will give you the full low down on the various foil drive batteries -- ruclips.net/video/oodccHUUhbs/видео.html Thank you for checking out our video. Best Tim

Hi Denzel - please give the team at Gerk's a call for this one -- (425) 270-3061 Best Half-Life Crew

zachary -- better late than never. Thank you for your comment! Best Half-Life Crew

Lol - not sure which of us is the slick sales guy here but I thought I'd add more color. The e-Bikes do provide a range -- however -- it depends materially upon the weight of the rider and the terrain. Hence - the less than definitive answer. That said - we'll continue to try to do better videos. Thank you for your comment and I'm glad the Vado SL has worked out well for you. Best Tim

Oh My! I better test that out. Thank you for comment -- I'll double check that. Thank you for checking out the video. Best, Tim

@@HALFLIFEVIDEO hello! Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated. Good to know and will follow your advice.

@stefanog9818 -- Sorry! You are correct. Battens out for light wind and slightly more power. Battens in for most conditions. My mistake - thank you! Tim

@@HALFLIFEVIDEO no worries at all and thank you very much for getting the right answer from Armstrong. Love your reviews very much and thank you for taking the time.

Sooooo how does it stack up to the Loft and Ventis weight and performance durability? Also suggest a bit less air for more power in light wind? But thanks for the unboxing. I want one!

Thank you - I'm glad the review was helpful. Get out there and shred! Best Half-Life Crew

Holy Smokes! Thank you for sharing that story. It's never a bad idea with foiling to come in a bit before you hit that fatigue point. A LOT can happen. Glad you were ok. Thanks for checking out the video. Best, Tim

The best way to practice is to just do it! That said......You'll know when it's time to move down in size. Once you're comfortable standing, getting up, doing a few gybes -- it will be time. Have fun! Tim

We'll have to check on that one! There are a few brands that make surfboard racks for scooters. Best Half-Life Crew

Behind the boat - performance 795. Either that or P725. Wing foil performance 935. Tow in performance 865 or 935. Hope that helps. Tim

It's dark...so it's 330pm😅

Thank you. Really appreciate you checking out our video. Happy winging!

Hi Brian - glad this video helped you out. Happy shredding! Best Tim

Can't tell you how much that means to us. Thank you. Best, Tim

No way -- awesome. Send us a pic on Instagram @halflifet.5 Best Half-Life Crew

right on Matt -- very cool. The V1 CF1200 was a great foil in it's day. Characteristic of the CFs is a nice entry and exit out of a carve. In V2 CF1200 they made it thinner and faster. Much improved for pumping - same stability. So at a minimum - you could upgrade to V2CF1200 (we have them in stock). You have two great choices that will be in that same size/wind range -- MA1000 and the HA1080. I can not say enough good things about both these wings. The MA1000 is most likely the next foil progression for you. Tip breaches are no worries and it is an incredibly smooth up for wind sports. It pumps as well as the CF1200V2 but moves much faster through the water. The new HA s are incredible. Compared to V1HAs the stall speed is much lower and it's less technical to ride. It's a fast foil and pumps well. The HA1080 is all around awesome....but it is slightly more technical to ride than the MA1000. Feel free to give me a call to talk through it and we'll get you dialed. 909-698-0401 Cheers, Tim

Hi @boverton72 -- a lot depends upon what you want to do and what your wave looks like. I personally don't recommend either....as you'll note this video was shot a while ago (in foil evolution terms...a long while ago). That said - if you have a wake surf boat -- at a minimum I'd go with the 76. The Gamma 68 won't give you much in terms of pumping. You'll be able to ride the first wave but outside of that you'll struggle. Other options to consider -- you can email me at halflifet.5@gmail.com -- I'd look at Axis and Armstrong's new Alloy system as well as Unifoil. If you go slingshot, upgrade to the G or PTM line -- you'll be glad you did. Get out there and don't over analyze it too much. The foil progression begins! Best Tim

Thank you Martin for the correction! Best Half-Life Crew

I love it! You'll make it happen. Just remember to have the driver pull you out of the water slowly. We have a video on how to drive for foiling -- ruclips.net/video/nX6KnJiMUuA/видео.html highly recommended. When you're starting it's a real partnership between rider and driver. You got this! Tim

Give us a call out at Gerk's -- (425) 270-3061 -- We'll get you dialed in! Best Half-Life Crew

Haha -- Unfortunately we can't carry & review them all. Do you have a Stockli that you love? Best Half-Life Crew

@@HALFLIFEVIDEO Montero….enjoy them on moguls and double black runs…handle moderate powder well! They are a heavy ski, and not for an average skier.

highly unlikely unless you are a fantastic paddler. Also depends upon the board you choose. An Armstrong WS4.0 for example could be surfed if you are a very strong paddler. Whereas a Armstrong WKT109 doesn't have the liter count. Hope that helps. Tim

@@HALFLIFEVIDEO this does! Thank you very much!

Thank you @sennheiser1966. Hope your foil journey is going well - come out and ride with us some time. Best Tim

Gath - yes - most likely. Hard shell at forehead. Best Tim & John

Thank you so much DLL -- hope you got your foil setup sorted! Best, Tim

Thank you StokedforSuccess -- keep us up to date on your foil journey. Instagram @halflifet.5 Best Tim

That is killer -- so glad the ski works for you. Best Tim

Yes indeed -- great ski! Thanks for the comment. Best Tim

Sure thing - when we do our '25 season reviews we'll be sure to show us putting in on. In the mean time - be sure to have your boots in a heated area vs in a cold area. It will help when you go to put it on. Best Half-Life Crew

Hope the learning process is going well! Let us know if you have any questions. Best Tim
