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...

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...

Designed to cater to the needs of intermediate to expert surfers, downwind enthusiasts, and wing foilers, Armstrong claims this range brings an unparalleled blend of agility, ease of pumping,...
Armstrong Foils Surf Board
I originally learned to prone foil on the Armstrong FG. It was a fantastic board for gripping prone foiling but mainly designed for winging. So, when I heard that Armstrong had a 100% surf-dedicated foil board, I was super excited to get my hands on one! The Armstrong Surf Foil Board has a fresh outline and is designed to deliver...
Armstrong Foils Wing FG Board
The Wing FG board range has been specifically designed to support the progression of winging enthusiasts.
