Is this do-able or are the tracks on the Armstrong too far forward?
cheers

Hi Patronus, I'm on your weight, 2 years winging, intermediate, and riding the Glide 1305 and the Free 1250.I'm willing to buy a 1085 or a 905 Glides, so I'm curious abouw in what conditions do you ride the Glide 905 ?

Does it turn enough for wing-surfing ?

thanks !

If I had 1305 and could only have one more would get 905. I wing often tubulent water where 905 is more comfortable. Was winging in thigh-high soft swells with 905yesterday and have winged in head-high soft waves. If I can build speed with 2-3 of pumps I can get up on 905, if I'm searching for more pumps it's an indication but I won't build take-off speed for 905, Glides feel more stable the faster you go.
I've never surfed.

The different Fanatic fuses can put the foil in different places even though the mast position matches, so make sure you are adding in that info. My $0.02.
