Armstrong’s new Downwind Ocean range aims to refine everything riders loved about the original Downwind Performance series and package it into a sleeker, snappier, more agile board.

Armstrong Foils MA Mk II Front Foil
When Armstrong announced the MA Mk2 was on the way, I was super keen to get my hands on it.

Foiling might look like effortless flight from the outside, but every glide hides a story of crashes, wipeouts, and stubborn persistence!
