Armstrong has gone from strength to strength and clearly take it seriously when they release new equipment.

Armstrong Foils Forward Geometry Wing Surf Board
The attention to detail with all Armstrong gear is next level, and this board is no different. There has clearly been a lot of time put into the development of this board to create many unique and effective features.
