Graham,
I've used my 7'10 Cuda with the DWP930+180speed tail. It works good for downwind sup. I think if you want to ride the 755 or smaller performance foils then a more forward box would be better. Here is a pic at the end of the run, Aiden on 7'7 with DWP755, my Cuda with the DWP930, Chris with the 6'8 and DWP755. The Cuda's are bloody good boards and the 7'8 would be a weapon for winging and sup if you are light enough to use it. I'm currently stuck on an island with just one board, one wing, one foil and one paddle. I took the Cuda with me! Quiver killer board in my opinion does it all.

Thank you for the reply! I've got the DWP955 and 755, plus the HA1080 and Pump1685. At 65KGs i'm finding the 85L Armie board just a bit small in real conditions and when using smaller foils so I'm hoping the longer water line and a 7 extra liters will help me out, especially when fully kitted with winter suit etc. I've not really sent any SUP runs longer than a few hundred yards testing the 85L 6'3" Armie board - I wasn't falling in much, but I just wasn't able to generate enough power in the stroke. Hopefully this board will bridge the gap for me and help me with confidence to send some actual runs. The new Armie foils have my confidence way up - not really needing the hand wing when doing runs now. Stoked on the journey.
