X-Form was born from that\u003cbr\u003esame mindset. When existing manufacturing methods couldn't deliver the strength,\u003cbr\u003eprecision, and durability we envisioned, we didn't compromise, we built our own\u003cbr\u003epurpose-designed factory. X-Form represents our commitment to doing things properly,\u003cbr\u003eusing precision manufacturing to create boards that are stronger, more consistent, and\u003cbr\u003ebuilt to progress with riders over time.\u003cbr\u003eWhy we built X-Form?\u003cbr\u003eOptimal Strength to Weight Ratio.\u003cbr\u003eX-Form was developed to reduce weight while solving long-standing durability and\u003cbr\u003econsistency challenges, this construction delivers an uncompromising strength to weightratio with precision-tuned performance. Because performance means nothing if your\u003cbr\u003egear doesn’t last.\u003cbr\u003eBy eliminating the inconsistencies and long-term fatigue associated with traditional\u003cbr\u003eboard construction, X-Form creates boards that are lighter, stronger, more durable, and\u003cbr\u003emore connected underfoot. The result is predictable performance, increased longevity,\u003cbr\u003eand a direct connection to the foil that riders can feel every session.\u003cbr\u003eWhat exactly is X-Form?\u003cbr\u003eExact Form, Every Time.\u003cbr\u003eX-Form is Armstrong's precision molded board technology and manufacturing process.\u003cbr\u003eDeveloped using proprietary CNC-machined molds, precision-engineered internal\u003cbr\u003ecomponents, and advanced composite construction, every X-Form board is formed in a\u003cbr\u003esingle molding cycle under uniform pressure and temperature. The process permanently\u003cbr\u003elocks in the board's rocker lines, rails, bevels, and contours while ensuring every internal\u003cbr\u003ecomponent is aligned to exact tolerances. Drawing on Armstrong's experience designing\u003cbr\u003eand manufacturing high-precision molded foils, X-Form brings the same level of\u003cbr\u003emanufacturing accuracy and consistency to board construction.\u003cbr\u003eX-Form Benefits:\u003cbr\u003eMore Direct Connection\u003cbr\u003eThe strength and precision of X-Form construction allow for a considerably thinner board\u003cbr\u003eprofile, creating a more direct connection to the foil. The result is cleaner feedback\u003cbr\u003eunderfoot, improved control, and a more responsive feel that helps riders stay\u003cbr\u003econnected to what the foil is doing.\u003cbr\u003eBuilt to Last\u003cbr\u003eDesigned to withstand the demands of everyday progression, X-Form delivers a\u003cbr\u003estronger, stiffer, and more durable construction than traditional board manufacturing\u003cbr\u003emethods. The precision molded process helps maintain the board's structural integrity\u003cbr\u003eand ride characteristics over time, reducing softening and fatigue session after session.\u003cbr\u003eX-Form Features:\u003cbr\u003eFoil Assist Compatible Window\u003cbr\u003eFoil Assist compatible window for clean, uninterrupted remote signal.\u003cbr\u003eDouble Sandwich Foot Area\u003cbr\u003eComplete PVC wrap of deck and underside of board with extra reinforced foot panels\u003cbr\u003ewhich are doubled up with another layer of high density PVC to handle the heaviest of\u003cbr\u003elandings.High Density PVC Wrap\u003cbr\u003eEntire internal surface of board wrapped in high density PVC. Even if it does crack it\u003cbr\u003ewon't absorb water like EPS foam would.\u003cbr\u003eHigh Density PVC Rails\u003cbr\u003eHigh density PVC foam wrap of the whole perimeter of board. Protects the areas of the\u003cbr\u003eboard most at risk to damage.\u003cbr\u003eUltralight Large Sphere EPS Core\u003cbr\u003eThe high-pressure molded layup is super stiff and the ultralight EPS core absorbs shocks\u003cbr\u003efor a solid and smooth ride.\u003cbr\u003eDual Carbon Stringer System\u003cbr\u003eArmstrong's reputed I-beam top-to-bottom dual carbon stringers provide maximum\u003cbr\u003estructural rigidity and durability by fully connecting the deck and bottom of the board.\u003cbr\u003eCarbon Foil Tracks\u003cbr\u003eProprietary carbon fiber foil tracks are keyed directly into the stringer fibers along with\u003cbr\u003ecarbon fiber for a fully integrated and ultra-strong construction where it counts most.\u003cbr\u003eShape \u0026amp; Outline\u003cbr\u003eBalanced, Responsive, Predictable.\u003cbr\u003eOn the water, the Midlength Mk II feels composed, responsive, and predictable.\u003cbr\u003eThe improved stiffness profile creates a clean, connected sensation underfoot, allowing\u003cbr\u003eriders to feel exactly what the foil is doing. The result is more confidence at speed,\u003cbr\u003ebetter control in critical moments, and a smoother, more intuitive riding experience\u003cbr\u003eacross disciplines.\u003cbr\u003eRefined Profile\u003cbr\u003eThanks to the new X-Form construction the refined profile features a considerably\u003cbr\u003ethinner board, delivering a more direct connection to the foil and reducing unwanted\u003cbr\u003etouch-downs.\u003cbr\u003eOptimized volume distribution\u003cbr\u003eOptimized volume distribution maintains stability and balance while allowing the board\u003cbr\u003eto sit lower to the water, creating a cleaner, more responsive feel underfoot. The result\u003cbr\u003eis a thinner, more connected board that enhances control, feedback, and confidence\u003cbr\u003eacross all conditions.\u003cbr\u003eReduced Sticking \u0026amp; Tracking\u003cbr\u003eThe new bottom design is shaped to optimize fluid dynamics at every phase of flight.\u003cbr\u003eA refined double concave transitioning to a subtle V helps generate early lift, making\u003cbr\u003etake-offs easier and more efficient while smoothing touch-downs.When the board reconnects with the water, it glances off the surface rather than\u003cbr\u003esticking or tracking, allowing for quick, clean release back onto foil. Shallower chines\u003cbr\u003eand a flatter bottom through the rear further reduce drag and resistance, creating a\u003cbr\u003efast, predictable feel that supports take-offs and landings.\u003cbr\u003eSurf Style Squash Tail\u003cbr\u003eThe surf-style squashed tail adds stability when getting onto the board, making early\u003cbr\u003epositioning and balance more intuitive. By allowing the rails to remain more parallel for\u003cbr\u003elonger, the shape increases surface efficiency and helps generate speed quickly,\u003cbr\u003eimproving take-off performance. The result is a tail design that feels stable underfoot\u003cbr\u003ewhile delivering faster, more confident launches onto foil.\u003cbr\u003eForward Geometry Foil Track\u003cbr\u003eArmstrong's Forward Geometry concept, introduced in 2021, redefined foilboard design\u003cbr\u003eby placing the foil more centrally to reduce swing weight and increase responsiveness\u003cbr\u003ewhile remaining compatible with any foil system. The Midlength Mk II continues this\u003cbr\u003elegacy with FG foil tracks positioned further forward for enhanced maneuverability and a\u003cbr\u003emore connected feel on foil across all board sizes.\u003cbr\u003eDeck grip\u003cbr\u003eMore Grip, More Control\u003cbr\u003eThe new Midlength Mk II deck grip is designed to reduce weight while increasing grip\u003cbr\u003eand control underfoot. Despite the lighter construction, it maintains Armstrong's\u003cbr\u003esignature soft feel, providing comfort and confidence for riders learning new skills, using\u003cbr\u003eFoil Assist, or spending extended sessions on an e-foil.\u003cbr\u003eDeck Grip Features:\u003cbr\u003e• Dual Foot Arch Bars - Intuitive foot positioning.\u003cbr\u003e• Rear Foot Wedges - Intuitive foot positioning relative to mast position.\u003cbr\u003e• Foil Track Indicators - For foot positioning relative to mast position.\u003cbr\u003e• Triangle Cut Outs - Reduce weight and increase grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Armstrong","offers":[{"title":"4'8 38L","offer_id":50332127232140,"sku":"MLMLII-1","price":3139.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5'0 45L","offer_id":50332127264908,"sku":"MLMLII-2","price":3189.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5'4 55L","offer_id":50332127297676,"sku":"MLMLII-3","price":3269.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5'8 65L","offer_id":50332127330444,"sku":"MLMLII-4","price":3359.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6'0 75L","offer_id":50332127363212,"sku":"MLMLII-5","price":3399.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6'4 85L","offer_id":50332127395980,"sku":"MLMLII-6","price":3449.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6'8 100L","offer_id":50332127428748,"sku":"MLMLII-7","price":3529.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6'11 115L","offer_id":50332127461516,"sku":"MLMLII-8","price":3619.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7'2 130L","offer_id":50332127494284,"sku":"MLMLII-9","price":3699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0320\/9802\/5612\/files\/Armstrong-ML-MkII-01.jpg?v=1780025534","url":"https:\/\/www.surffx.com.au\/products\/armstrong-midlength-mk-ii-x-form-foiloard","provider":"Surf FX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
