Built to deliver a lighter, stronger, and more connected ride, it represents a major leap in durability, response, and long-term performance. Refined through years of testing in New Zealand's most demanding conditions, the Midlength Mk II blends Armstrong's signature feel with a new level of control, consistency, and confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinging\u003cbr\u003eParawinging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e38L – 4'8\" x 18 1\/8\" x 3 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e45L – 5'0\" x 18 5\/8\" x 3 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e55L – 5'4\" x 19 1\/8\" x 4\"\u003cbr\u003e65L – 5'8\" x 19 5\/8\" x 4 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e75L – 6'0\" x 20 3\/8\" x 4 3\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e85L – 6'4\" x 21 3\/8\" x 4 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e100L – 6'8\" x 22 1\/4\" x 4 7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e115L – 6'11\" x 22 3\/4\" x 5 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e130L – 7'2\" x 23 1\/4\" x 5 5\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eX-Form Precision Molded Board Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Carbon Stringer System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon Foil Tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForward Geometry Foil Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoil Drive Compatible Window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurf Style Squash Tail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplacement Hull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaised Deck Wedges \u0026amp; Arch Bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoot Strap Inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Deck Grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInclusions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePremium Board Bag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/1948\/files\/1_6.jpg?v=1780446803\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConstruction: X-Form Precision Molded Board Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the beginning, Armstrong was built on a simple belief: riders should be able to trust their equipment in the harshest conditions, every day. X-Form was born from that same mindset. When existing manufacturing methods couldn't deliver the strength, precision, and durability we envisioned, we didn't compromise — we built our own purpose-designed factory. X-Form represents our commitment to doing things properly, using precision manufacturing to create boards that are stronger, more consistent, and built to progress with riders over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal Strength to Weight Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eX-Form was developed to reduce weight while solving long-standing durability and consistency challenges. By eliminating the inconsistencies and long-term fatigue associated with traditional board construction, X-Form creates boards that are lighter, stronger, more durable, and more connected underfoot. The result is predictable performance, increased longevity, and a direct connection to the foil that riders can feel every session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExact Form, Every Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eX-Form is Armstrong's precision molded board technology and manufacturing process. Developed using proprietary CNC-machined molds, precision-engineered internal components, and advanced composite construction, every X-Form board is formed in a single molding cycle under uniform pressure and temperature. The process permanently locks in the board's rocker lines, rails, bevels, and contours while ensuring every internal component is aligned to exact tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/1948\/files\/1_7_5ee63449-a376-45ac-8be5-01335116673b.jpg?v=1780446850\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eX-Form Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Direct Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— The strength and precision of X-Form construction allow for a considerably thinner board profile, creating a more direct connection to the foil.
