It is very obvious that the 1675 is a pump foil and not a surf foil.
I hope Armstrong will come out with HA1280 and even a HA1380 asap to ride micro waves.
Point is, the APF works as a small wave surf foil or DW foil in a pinch. In less turbulent water it turns surprisingly well and it was designed to allow for some maneuverability, not only pumping. I surfed the 1080 in 1-3' surf today and it worked incredibly well. I didn't feel the need at all for a bigger foil. Can't see why a 1180 wouldn't work for you in tiny waves unless you're over 100kg. Have you ridden one yet?
