You're looking pretty good.
If you're vertical and the foil is doing a banked turn that is pretty much what will happen. -

I personally like the build quality of Armstrong. Look at the mast. It's one solid piece. Other companies screw the mast into a bracket that then screws into the board. Also I like that they use...

Buy once cry once.
I recommend an Armstrong HS1550 V1, 60cm fuse, 72 cm mast and 232 tail. That is something you can grow into.

Isn't it great not to need a huge wave, fiddle with ballast bags, lead etc
I just fill ballast 30% and for foiling that is plenty big even with only 1 person on the boat! -

For second wave your back foot should be right over the forward half of the mast. Front foot should just be shoulder width if not a little narrower.

I'm in Canada. 1 gallon\3.8 liters of Amsoil is $70. 1 gallon of Delvac on Amazon is $225 and I can't find it anywhere else.
The dealer wants $45 for 1 liter of Indmar 50.

Amsoil a substitute for the Delvac 50?
Just wondering if this is a direct substitute for the Delvac 50/Indmar 50 V drive fluid? The Delvac 50 and Indmar 50 are hard to get here but I can get the amsoil easily.

I agree, impeller puller and it's a 10 to 15 minute easy job. I've done it 4 times already. Dealer wants to do it for $200. I did it in 15 minutes for $45 and i didn't have to tow it in.
