Sky Style TE 75L footstrap placement

boazm

Hi folks.

I got the 75L Sky Style TE (the yellow one). Love the board. I recently began using the Armstrong MA1225 and have 2 issues:

It seems that the strap inserts are too far forward for it (in other words, when the mast is all the way forward - I still need the front straps to be placed farther back than the back most inserts.
Regardless what foil I use - I feel that the closest strap placement is still a bit wide (I am 175cm tall).
My question i: If I wanted to add inserts - what inserts should I use to stay consistent with the existing ones (can I purchase those directly from you)? Thx!

Hi there, have you tried trimming/shimming the foil slightly to reduce the rear foot pressure you are feeling? Maybe check on the Armstrong forums/Facebook pages, I know they give some advice there on trimming?

Adding inserts is no problem, we do not sell them ourselves, but most custom shops can just add any or sell you some - most important is obviously to use the same screw type/drill the inset open with the same drill bit size so the screws fit properly.

I use the 4'11" mainly, sometimes the 4'9" if it's windy, 183cm, coming from 40+yrs of windsurfing, it does take some getting used to in winging in general with the wider stance I must say.
