Looking for a smaller wing board around 60L. Heard good things about Armstrong wing sup 60L and KT wing drifter 56L. Quite different in design but both seams to work great. Anyone tried both? Im 75kg thanks

Add omen flux to your list. I've been riding the 48l and 84l and like it a lot. I'm 80kg

I owned the 60L Armstrong and currently have a 42L KT. The Armstrong felt bigger than 60L and could be used as a one board quiver (i'm 70kgs). But it was fragile and I use a GoFoil set up so I didnt like the Armstrong box positioning.
I love the KT but at 42L it is a high wind board so on lighter days I revert to a 70L Amos. If you are looking for a one board quiver 56L might be OK for you. If you have two boards then I would definitely go down in volume to 42L. Its easier to stinkbug start the 42L over my 70L due to stability of it being under water.

The Omen Flux 60L might be a good call. I'm around 90kg and the 72 is currently my one quiver board.

I'm 78kg and use the Naish Hover 4'10 22" 60L as a one board quiver. It feels alot smaller and more nimble than all other boards ive owned or demoed. In waves it's in its element.

Ive just had about 10 sessions on a 60L FG Armstrong board after using a 75L one last season.
Im 80kg.
The 75L was necessary to get some skills down after using a 96L board to learn on. But now I am selling the 75L board.

Both the 75L and 60L FG Armstrongs are great boards.

Will you use the 60L Armstrong as a one board quiver?

from my experience for a one board quiver...unless you are living in a super windy place...or a super non-windy place with less than 12kts most of the time, the formula is your weight in kg * about 0.75. That size board should be around what you would need to foil in very low wind and be close in feeling of a sinker....but without taking the extra energy to release it from water and the extra speed after a jump to put it back on foil.

yes definitely

Only time Im stuck is when the wind is less than12knots.

As long as I can get the board moving with enough wind while on my knees I can then get up to standing and then pump wing and foil to get going.
