So I'm 95Kgs and broke out the Armstrong board with my Axis 999 set up, ultrashort fuse and the 375p stab. Started with the mast a little back from the middle and the Art just wanted to buck out of the water and stall. I came back and move the mast all the way back and that made it a lot better but the front foot pressure still seems a little high. I'm used to the Starboard Takeoff (could put the Axis way forward on that board).

I really like the Armstrong boards ability to take off in lighter winds and I feel the concave deck gives me a really good, sensitive feel of the foil. Any recommendations on using a shim for the rear stab or maybe getting a 325P to help?

The advance fuse is key...I use one with my art 1099 & 1310PNG along with my 60L Armstrong FG board. Works great.

Advanced ultrashort fuse might help, given that it goes 4cm further than the regular ultrashort fuse. Might match better with the Armstrong board?

Thanks! I'm reading website it indicates if you're on Ultrashort, and go Advanced, you should consider going one step shorter, 'CrazyShort' given the distance between the mast and stabilizer. Any sense if I should go shorter to Crazy Short from Ultrashort?

If you are a decent foiler then go sillyshort advance and you will get the best possible performance out of all the ART range. I run that with a 325P tail for all my foils except the 1300. The twitchyness goes away after a few sessions.
