Armstrong New HA - Low End

Currently downwinding the DWP 930. Looking for something with a bit more low end for lighter bay style conditions. Thinking one of the new HAs would do the trick, not sure which size.

Thinking 1080, maybe 1180. Any advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

What’s your weight? Pumping and efficiency skills play into it also. Wind speed and swell too

I would try to get a test drive on a 980 and a 1080.
And then decide if you want an 880.

I have a bit of time on a 780 and 880. The 880 stalls somewhere around 9 mph.

Wow. That’s pretty impressive and a good data point.
Looking at some old garmin data, even my 1201 stalls in the 7-8 mph range.

I have the 1080 and 880. 880 is plenty and I weigh 170 lbs

I’m about 170 as well. Do you even have a use for the 1080 then?

I bought it thinking that I would use it on super small days but the 880 works just as good. I’m in the market for a SUP so I think the 1080 would work well for that

Ive been doing a bunch of bay runs on the 1180 - still waiting for good enough conditions to try the 930!

Ended up with the 1080. Low end is very good.
Excellent light wind complement to the 930 so far.

Thats great! When you have some real world numbers to share please do.

And some real world numbers and experience with the 930!
What board are you downwinding with?
