Armstrong Foils Downwind Mk III
The Downwind Mk III board has emerged as a standout choice for both novice and experienced riders looking to enhance their downwinding experience. Its design focuses on enabling progression, whether one is learning the ropes of downwinding or pushing the boundaries of performance in challenging, skatepark-like conditions. One of the board's most notable features is its innovative displacement hull design,...
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 A-Wing XPS
The A-Wing XPS from Armstrong Foils offers a cutting-edge design tailored for diverse riding styles, boasting next-generation performance, power, and control. Collaborating with renowned wing and kite designers, Armstrong has meticulously crafted the A-Wing XPS to ensure optimal functionality across various riding conditions. 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...
Armstrong Foils HA Foil Range
The latest innovation from Armstrong's ever-progressing range is the second edition of the High Aspect (HA) Foil Range. It aims to build upon the success of its predecessors, released in 2021. 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. This range of boards focuses on enhancing the winging experience by packing more volume into smaller dimensions. This allows riders to enjoy the performance of a smaller board without compromising on ease of use. The Wing FG boards feature a swept wedge nose, well-structured...

Whether it's free flying, wave riding, or freestyle, the all-new A-Wing XPS brings forth a whole new level of performance, power, and control. The world's leading wing and kite designers were brought on board to elevate this design to unprecedented heights. In every aspect of the A-Wing XPS, meticulous thought, testing, and fine-tuning took place in a wide range of...
Armstrong Foils APF 1880 & Pump 202
This is Armstrong’s first pump-specific foil. Designed specifically for ultimate efficiency and distance covered. They were clearly committed to making the best possible foil, going out of their way to hire Chris Porter, an aerospace engineer. The APF foil shares its DNA with his reputed Crisp 333 and 381 stabilisers. This foil is clearly specific for the task. Armstrong knows...
Armstrong Foils Downwind SUP
After the success I’d recently had from the AFS Blackbird, I was super excited for the Armstrong Downwind SUP to arrive. The Armstrong DW board is designed to provide exceptional performance for downwind SUP foiling, light wind winging, SUP surf foiling, and prone downwinding. The range comprises five sizes, providing plenty of options for a range of rider weights and...
