Has anyone winged Armstrong MA foils with Kalama E3? I am considering 5'9 x 22.5 - 95L with 795/60/1225ma/205. or 235 10-15kt onshore and 5 to 6.5m wing at 80kg.
Do the tracks have adequate forward range?

Unless the E3's tracks have moved forward in the last 2 seasons, avoid the Kalama. You need the Armstrong MAs really forward to work their best. Look for a brand known for this feature.

I emailed Kalama the same question about 6 months ago and they said tracks would probably be too far back to work with Armstrong on that board.

Short answer from Dave K is it comes down to personal preference.

The A+ mast worked because you could flip the washer and get the mast further forward. New mast would not work.

when it is too far it wont work ..... as footstraps and tailpad are on wrong spot.
I had the same problem with a smik wing board. Mastrack is too short and too far back.

this is one of the main issue for an armie rider... plus when you are on the heavier side,
