Armstrong Foils A-Wing XPS Mk II
It’s here - the highly anticipated A-Wing XPS Mk II has finally hit the shelves. After the success of the Mk1, it’s no surprise everyone has been dying to get a hold of these wings. In this review, we’ll let you know if it was worth the wait (spoiler alert - it was!). Armstrong claims it’s their most versatile wing...
Armstrong Foils Downwind Mk III
Following on from our review of the Ocean 95L last issue, we’ve got the 95L the Downwind Mk III to compare it with. As always with Armstrong, the finish is immaculate, and it arrived in a shiny new blue board bag, as standard. The Mk3 represents another step in the evolution of board design for foilers looking to advance their...
Armstrong Foils Downwind Ocean
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. I was pleased to be sent the smallest board in the line-up—7’8” (95L). It is 3 litres smaller and 6 inches shorter than its predecessor, the Performance 8’2. Where the Performance board relied...

This foil is specifically engineered to provide ultra-forgiving pitch stability, which significantly enhances the user’s experience regardless of skill level. The MA Mk II boasts an impressively broad speed range, allowing for seamless transitions whether...
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. The original MA series, particularly the MA800, were epic for winging in the waves (I was still using them until these arrived!); however, for our gutless waves on the South Coast of the UK, they lacked the pump & glide...

The Noah Flegel Pro Board, co-developed by world champion Noah Flegel and Armstrong founder Armie Armstrong, presents a remarkable solution for both wake and tow foiling enthusiasts.

The innovative cross-panel sail (XPS) design of the A-Wing XPS enhances connection during riding, significantly reducing sail...
Armstrong Foils Alloy System
This is a welcome addition from Armstrong. While all of their equipment is brilliant, it has always come with a reasonably hefty price tag. It's worth paying if you ask me, but it's a barrier to entry. Introducing the Armstrong Alloy Foil Mast—an affordable, high-quality alternative to their carbon range that allows you to access their entire foil range! It’s...
Armstrong Foils APF 1350
I’d already had the APF1880 for a while when the 1350 arrived on test. While the 1880 was exceptional for pumping efficiency (I got my PB of 11 minutes flat water pumping on the 1880), it lacked glide speed and turning ability. So, I was super excited to try a foil that made some compromises to this! According to Armstrong,...
Armstrong Foils Downwind Performance
Downwind SUP foiling has become my absolute go-to discipline. Anytime it’s windy, I’m searching for bumps. So you can only imagine my excitement when the brand new Armstrong Downwind Performance arrived at my door. Before I discuss my experience, I’ll highlight some of the upgrades and changes from the original. They are longer and narrower than the original, designed for...

Foiling might look like effortless flight from the outside, but every glide hides a story of crashes, wipeouts, and stubborn persistence! In this editorial, Jack Galloway talks about the mindset that sets foilers apart: the willingness to sacrifice comfort, start from scratch again and again, and embrace the “walk of shame” in pursuit of progress.

From wild downwind SUP runs to the rise of parawing, foiling has taken off in every direction. But, in this editorial, Jack Galloway reminds us not to forget our roots.
