Finally got 2 sessions on the 925, coming from 1550V2. 60cm, chopped 200V 0.5 shim in fresh water. What a thrilling ride! So sporty and reactive with incredible efficient glide. Pitch control is a lot more sensitive but that’s where the thrill part shines. The more I rode the better all aspects became. Second session was on 60L (I’m 90kg) and that was even better
Depends upon the environment, your wave, and your riding style. Which front wing? I LOVE the V200. Please tell us a bit more. You can always email us at halflifet.5@gmail.com
We should talk. What time zone are you in? You can reach us (pacific time zone) (909) 698-0401. I want to hear more about your foiling style, boat, etc. You can also email me at halflifet.5@gmail.com. Cheers, Tim
Thanks for the heads up re the HA 925. In the Armstrong range of boards is a there a prone foil board? I;m 6 4 an 205 lbs and looking into getting into this craziness.
Hi Mark, Awesome - please feel free to shoot us an email at halflifet.5@gmail.com to help you get the right setup for you. To answer your question above - yes - Armstrong does make prone boards -- they call them "WS" wing/surf. The right size will depend upon your paddle strength and waves but odds are that the WS410 will be the right prone board for you. Look forward to hearing from you. Best, Tim
at 60kg you'll be able to use the HA925 in a large variety of wind speeds. You'll enjoy it the most 15+ MPH. We should talk about your wing foil experience and riding style. Feel free to call us (909) 698-0401. Best, Tim
hi, my name is didier. 87 kg rider in wing. I have 3 wings 1550,1250,1050. I would like to go faster while carving to the extreme. you advise me ha 1125 or ha 925. thank you for the reply. did. of new caledonia.
Hi Didier -- It depends upon the size of your wave but given your quiver -- I'd highly recommend the HA925. Drop us a note if you'd like to purchase one. email: halflifet.5@gmail.com Cheers, Tim
@@HALFLIFEVIDEO hey, love the vids. I’m looking at HA 925, vs 1125. I’m 190# and wing mostly with 1550 and 200V. Just starting on prone surf. Sometimes kite on 1050. Going to Puerto Rico for all above. Should I get 925 straight away? Or 1125 first? Thanks, Salvatore
@@salvino777 I’d imagine that at 190lbs, the 1125 would be a better wing for your weight. Kiting you should have no problem with the 925 tho! Curious to hear what your experience with either the 925 or 1125 have been
Sky is riding the 4.0 - 27 liter vs 4.5 34 liter. Sky finally let me try that foil. Works great on both boards! I have ridden on both boards. Definitely less swing weight with the 4.0 and pumps like the devil with the reduced size and weight. You have to work harder paddling the smaller board and (for me 185lbs) you have to arch your back more on the 27liter as it sinks deeper into the water. Gives you more incentive to pump vs paddle! New Armstrong boards have a great feel and are really dialed in for a production board.
@@johnanderson4561 thanks Johnny,I’ve got a 4’11” FG on order with the idea of having it for Winging on stronger days and for proning if I want to do any.We tow and wake foil mostly and I have a 3’11” for that which is my go to board and just love it.We have a full range of wings etc. and are looking forward to a demo on the HA925.
Hey Anthony -- weight definitely plays a factor but in the ocean strength of wave trumps weight. That said - if you need any help picking the right wing for you just shoot us an email at halflifet.5@gmail.com Stay Stoked! Tim

Could not stop looking at the mast base, Is there a new mast base coming out? the base screws look like there in the middle of the mast :O
Nice Tips!!! Your Tips are showing...
Thanks Cliffy! Appreciate you checking out the video.

Hey guys. What rear wing do you recommend for behind the boat or winging?
Depends upon the environment, your wave, and your riding style. Which front wing? I LOVE the V200. Please tell us a bit more. You can always email us at halflifet.5@gmail.com
I think you mean the HA925 has a HIGHER stall speed relative to the HA1125 not LOWER stall speed!
Looks so good 🔥
How far off the tail you running the mast with 60 fuse?
Need to make sure will work on my board Fanatic Sky wing 2022
Hi Lee -- with the 925 we have the mast all the way back in the track.

Fellas - I’m about 210# and mainly rode the HS 1550 behind a boat with the V200 - how would the HA 925 compare & is it too small for my size?

By "zero shim" did Sky mean "no shims used," or "with a +1 shim to achieve zero degrees?"
No Shim.

In the end additional footage of Sky what length mast and Stab is he using? Great info as always
Right on! You'll love it.

Thank you for checking out the video! 72cm and I believe the chopped 232 but Sky will have to confirm.
Thanks,

Isn’t one of the major factor is the persons weight?
Hey Anthony -- weight definitely plays a factor but in the ocean strength of wave trumps weight. That said - if you need any help picking the right wing for you just shoot us an email at halflifet.5@gmail.com
