Wing Foil Board ARMSTRONG Wing SUP 5'8''/ 99L

Without question, shorter boards offer superior maneuverability, feel and control once on the fly but getting them there is not so easy. Until now that is, as boards get shorter it becomes important to maximise stability and hull speed when still attached to the water. The new Forward Geometry shapes from Armstrong have addressed this issue with a beautiful innovative approach enabling everyone to take advantage of the benefits riding shorter boards.

The new A+System Mast Tracks are positioned well forward in the board to reduce rotational swing weight which radically improves handling and response.

Plastic simply does not do the job well enough, so Armstrong designed the own 320mm Carbon Fiber mast tracks.

This brings you closer to the mast top for direct handling and feel.

Easy to carry top or bottom, the through board handle is also the water evacuation for the recessed deck.

Speed is the key, so Armstrong uses all the boards waterline to help accelerate the board forward.

Offers stability on the water and helps push the water under the board rather than splitting it around the board.

This is all about bringing the nose up quickly to accelerate the water down the double concave to flat bottom at the tail.

For better acceleration, less drag at the rear waterline release area, it looks faster because it is!

As the board picks up speed and the foil starts to lift, the contact area reduces, making for a smooth transition from on the water to foiling and also seamless touchdowns as the board does not grab as it touches the water’s surface.

The recessed deck, wide Chisel nose and relatively rectangular outline means Armstrong can push the volume to the extremities, makes for a stable platform when on the water.

Lightweight is nothing without strength so Armstrong has chosen the best materials to keep the boards both light and strong. Foam core with multiple PVC reinforcements, Dual Carbon stingers, covered with Carbon fiber and Dyneema cloth.
