to be a voice of dissent, if you have the option I would go the 3.6m. Pretty much the only thing you can do wrong learning to para is not having enough fabric and if you have your DW skills dialed then its only going to be used for the pop up and you can carry a little more power.

I certainly agree here! Don't buy too small - rather a little overpowered than the opposite! It also depends on PW type/version/brand - some have bigger wind range than others!
Go for the ones (mostly newer v2 - v3 ) with big wind range.
And not everybody sails in the Gorge or Maui with BIG consistent winds......

I've been really happy with my Pr v2 5.7 and was surprised how early it starts pulling and get you on foil and still manages heavy gusts! I often go directly from 5.7 til 4.3 even though I have the 5.0 - I think that says a lot about the wind range!
I think it's easy to pack and the line length is no problem for me! But I'm also a tall person (187 cm) so maybe my arms are longer than other users? ;-)
I packs down okay in size (compared to other big PW's)
I had a Quest 6.0 before and that didn't start earlier - on the contrary.....
So absolutely recommended lightwind (or normal wind - depending on your local conditions) PW
My weight is 90 kg wet and I mostly use boards 75 to 90 l ML and lightwind foil is 950 cm2 AR10
I'm actually selling mine since I ordered an Afterburner 6.5 so contact me if interested. I'm in Europe (Denmark)
cheers

Does anyone have any updates on the availability of the Armstrong Midlength Mk2?
I’m in Europe and pre-ordered the 75L back in May (should have arrived late June), but still haven’t heard anything about when it might finally arrive and not even the dealer gets a reliable update. Sold my old Midlength thinking the new one wouldn’t take this long… so now I’m just waiting, waiting, waiting 😅
I’ve been riding Armstrong for many years and love their gear, but this is getting super frustrating.
Has anyone in Europe received theirs yet, or heard anything about delivery dates?

I received my ML MKII 75l back in July - ordered it from Foilsurfing Nederland / Hub Dekkers - it took approx. 14 days from order to delivery - no problem what so ever!
So yes - they are here and available!
I'm in Denmark by the way.....

Hi Miles
I had the 95 cm carbon mast approximately in the middle - or maybe 1 cm back from middle position - SK8 850 and 1050 - on a Sky Style SLS 4'9" and 90 kg

Not a problem!
A friend of mine is using the 2026 Skybrid with F-One Titan2 system (SK8) and I was using F-One Titan1 system on all prior types of Duotone (+ fanatic) boards before the Skybrid - never an issue!
All with straps of course.....
Without straps you'll never get problems with any combination since you just move your feet accordingly.
