Wing Foiling, SUP and Surf Reviews - Armstrong Foils Downwind SUP 7'7, 21 2023
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…

Armstrong Foils MA & Performance Mast

The highly-anticipated MA series sits right in the middle of Armstrong's HA & HS wings. Designed for the best of both worlds this wing is made for more of a surf feel, with a slower stall speed than the HA but with more glide & efficiency than the HS. I was lucky enough to be sent a whole quiver of…

Armstrong Foils WKT

Armstrong has gone from strength to strength and clearly take it seriously when they release new equipment. I have no doubt that R&D is done exceptionally carefully, so that they release only the highest quality products. That’s why you don’t see gear released yearly from them, only when a genuine technological update is needed. With that in mind, getting the…

Armstrong's CF V2 is their all-around foil lineup. Ranging from 950cm2 all the way to 2050cm2. It’s designed for beginners seeking a foundation for progression and experienced riders pushing their limits. The attention to detail that Armstrong has put in is immediately obvious when getting it out of the box. This foil has the highest quality components and finishes that…

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. I’ll start with the ‘Forward Geometry’ design, what Armstrong has essentially done here is install a longer box into the board.…

Armie Armstrong is the driving force behind the Armstrong brand but certainly isn’t a one-man band. The New Zealand company isn’t afraid to bring in experts to make the best products money can buy, among their staff is Jim Moore, foil maker for New Zealand’s America’s Cup wing building campaigns, Rob Whittall, aerofoil designer & Armie’s father David Armstrong, a…

Armstrong Foils V2 A-Wing

While Armstrong doesn’t have the years of experience that some of the kite brands have had it doesn’t show. The V2 A-Wing is a robust high-performance wing with all of the features we’re looking for when on the water. It comes complete with a carry bag & leash in five different sizes: 2.5m/3.5m/4.5m/5.5m and 6.5m. Here on test is the…
