currently riding f one asc. Works but for sure not the best.

I know "youdig" uses such a setup.

Try to contact him on his youtube channel: www.youtube.com/@youdigsurf/featured

F-one foil and Armstrong foils have the mast more forward, Armstrong more so than F-one.
Gong, Gofoil are the opposite.
I find my Gong& Gofoil ride in the exact same mast position more at the back

Not a Lethal or a Lemon but I have been using Armstrong HS series 1250, 1550, 1850, MA1750 and CF2400 on Gong Zuma 6'9" for SUP Foil and SUP Foil and winging with a Gong Crusader 7'6". Use the foils about a third of the way back from the front of the box so would say there is a lot of scope to move them forward. They work well for me.

(Much better than Armstrong on inflatable Fanatic for example, my feet are too far aft of the footstrap positions on that board and I am thinking of buying a Gong Pro inflatable as I think the tracks are close to the same but the foot positions are further aft.)

I've used the A+ mast and HS1850/HA1125 on the Hipe and Hipe pro, no problem at all.

Is it so really, i think the boxes on gong look far better than f ones. Much longer.

Thx!
the newer foils, at least ma need to go forward in tracks a bit but seems like there is plenty of room!
