About the Combo:

BOARD: Armstrong Foils Wing FG Board (all sizes)

Take the next step.
The all new Wing board range is designed to enable your winging progression.
The Wing FG board range is designed for winging. Its refined shape packs more volume into smaller dimensions, allowing riders to experience the performance of a smaller board while facilitating ease of use. A swept wedge nose, cleanly arranged tail geometry and full length chines results in a unique level of functionality, refinement and aesthetics.

• Ten sizes from 34 - 135L offer something for riders of all skill levels and weights.

Features

• Narrow outline for increased planing speed, higher turning performance and reduced windage. 
• Improved stability with a wider, flatter standing area and contoured deck grip edges. Swept wedge nose with increased thickness for improved floatation and durability.
• Incredibly smooth and easy takeoffs and touchdowns with a cleaner, reduced area bottom shape. 
• Raised deck grip corners for intuitive foot placement reference.
• Single sided handle for easy carry and reduced water splash on takeoff and touchdown.
• Footstrap screw plugs offer multiple placement options.

AN EVOLVED AND REFINED SHAPE

Experience a big jump in overall performance without having to trade substantial volume to get there.

• Compared to the FG board ranges, the Wing boards have an overall narrower outline for increased planing speed, higher turning performance and reduced windage.
• Improved stability with a wider, flatter standing area and contoured deck grip edges.
• Incredibly smooth and easy takeoffs and touchdowns with a cleaner, reduced area bottom shape. 

Forward Geometry
Limitless options to fasttrack your progression.

Emphasising modularity within board design, Armstrong introduced a major innovation to wing boards in 2021 with the Forward Geometry concept. Designed to work with any brand of foil, the FG design increases responsiveness by placing the foil more centrally and reducing swing weight in turns. The Wing board range carries on that design legacy with FG foil tracks that are strategically placed well forward for maximum manoeuvrability and a hyper connected feel on foil, delivering high performance to riders on all the board sizes.

PROVEN CONSTRUCTION
Maximum structural rigidity creates a sublime feel underfoot.

The ultra stiff double skin carbon PVC sandwich combined with Armstrong’s reputed i-beam top to bottom dual stringers provides maximum structural rigidity and durability. Proprietary carbon fibre foil tracks are keyed directly into the stringer fibres for a fully integrated construction.

PERFORMANCE MAST: Armstrong Foils 865 Performance Mast

The do-it-all length for wing, SUP surf, tow surf, kite, high wind downwind and prone surf.

Development

 “As the sport develops, riders push themselves and the equipment to the limits. After listening to feedback, we wanted to develop a new, innovative, ultra high-performance mast that minimizes drag and ventilation while also being stiffer and even more responsive.” - Armie Armstrong

Collaborating with a team of America’s Cup foil engineers, we set out to develop a high performance mast to take us into the future. Our design goal called for a unique blend of strength, stiffness, drag and light weight. Combining CFD analysis with expert insight allowed us to tune each section of the mast from baseplate to fuselage connection for maximum efficiency.

“Working with the latest premium composites available, we torture tested over 100 prototypes to work out the optimal fiber orientation for strength and designed flex. In keeping with our philosophy of strength and light weight, we redesigned the mast top geometry to shave off every possible extra gram of dead weight.” - Armie Armstrong

Structural analysis shows that a combination of both high modulus (HM) and intermediate modulus (IM) carbon fibers best distributes loads throughout various sections of the mast. HM's stiffness minimizes flex in the mast's central strut area and IM's high tensile strength caters to the complex shapes of the top plate and fuselage connection.

The result is a top of the line mast consisting of top shelf materials, new mast section, refined baseplate, reduced drag fuselage connection and new construction method. Proprietary titanium M7 mast top hardware follows suit with a strong, light and drag reducing connection to the board.

These masts are designed with a mast rake angle. This fine tunes the board angle relative to the foil for a more comfortable and forgiving ride. It does not change the lifting force or balance of the foil itself, and it does not impact the foil’s “foot pressure” bias front or back. Board rocker also directly determines effective mast rake – boards from different brands have a variety of different rocker lines which influence rake angle – and more rocker in the rear half of board effectively increases mast rake. The 1 degree of rake we’ve placed specifically into the top of the Performance Mast shape provides three main benefits by adjusting the board relative to the foil underwater:

By bringing the foil closer to 0 degrees when the board is in the water, drag is reduced which makes takeoffs easier.
Touching down at speed or landing a jump is more forgiving and there’s less chance of crashing headfirst over the board.
By lifting the board nose slightly (1 degree = 17.46mm/m), mast rake makes it easier to ride fast without catching the nose at steep riding angles.

Simply put, the Performance Mast range takes the sublime Armstrong feeling further than ever.

2X HA FOIL: Armstrong Foils HA Foil 2023 Model

The essence of foiling.

Building on the legacy of our first HA (high aspect) foils initially released in 2021, the new HA range offers an unprecedented combination of rippability, easy pumping and endless glide that expands the potential of intermediate to expert surf, downwind and wing foilers. Seven sizes - 580, 680, 780, 880, 980, 1080, 1180cm2 - deliver a full quiver of options. The new HA range is the essence of foiling.

Standout Performance
Best of both worlds.

A newly developed section shape, outline and profile give the HA range a remarkable “best of both worlds” ability to carve beautiful lines and easily stay high in the pumping power zone for maximum wave riding potential. The foil section is adjusted incrementally at points across the wingspan (evolutive section shape) to provide a big boost to gliding efficiency and consistent lift at various bank angles and flight speeds. For those already riding the previous generation Armstrong HA range, we recommend downsizing one foil size, for example: from the older HA925, move to the new HA880 to maintain familiar pumpability with a substantial overall performance increase.

Features

• High aspect ratio
• 9.63-9.8 AR across the range of sizes
• Broad size range
• Seven sizes from 580 to 1180 for intermediate through expert surf, downwind and wing foilers.
• Evolutive section shape
• The section shape is tweaked at various stations across the span for hyper-optimised water flow across the wing.
• Flat profile
• Enables responsive turning in carves, even at wider wingspans.
• Toray carbon fibre
• Built from premium Toray high and intermediate modulus carbon fibre for exceptional stiffness and light weight.
• A+ System
• Our proprietary connection system offers industry-leading strength, durability and modularity.

Sizes - 580, 680, 780, 880, 980, 1080, 1180

2X XPS WING: Armstrong Foils NEW XPS A Wing, All Sizes 2.6m, 3.0m, 3.5m, 4.0m, 4.6m, 5.3m, 6.1m

Whether it’s freeriding, wave riding or freestyle, the all new A-Wing XPS delivers next generation performance, power and control. We recruited some of the world’s leading wing and kite designers to push this shape to the next level. Each aspect of the new A-Wing XPS was tirelessly thought out, tested and finely tuned in a wide range of riding conditions.

An innovative cross panel sail (XPS) design provides an outstanding level of connection when riding. This futuristic panel layout greatly reduces sail distortion by improving load distribution and frame rigidity. This gives all the wing sizes a very direct and controlled feel for easy and comfortable flying.

The XPS’s airfoil section combined with our pre-twist tip geometry, produces incredible speed with sublime upwind performance. This greatly benefits jump amplitude for freestyle manoeuvres and delivers plenty of hang time and float for smooth landings. This wing is also a wave rider’s dream with little to no luffing or sail flutter and excellent stability, allowing the rider to focus less on the wing and more on shredding the wave.

We tested hundreds of individual materials during the development of the XPS. We settled on the new generation high quality lightweight Dacron, tried and tested polyester Dacron and Ultra PE woven laminate (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) for key reinforcements. The result is a highly refined combination of materials which delivers impressive strength to weight, durability and overall performance.
