Armstrong A+ System Mid Aspect Front Wing

I’m a heavier rider and I’ve found the MA1475 really awesome as I’m progressing with prone foiling. It has plenty of lift and overall been super user friendly! Feels great through the turns and seems to have really nice top end too. Definitely stoked to spend more time with the MA foils!!

I have been riding the MA 1000 and the MA 800. Both are absolutely amazing for kite foiling!

The MA 1000 has tons of lift, glide, and pump. Works great as a lightwind wing, while still being maneuverable and playful enough to pump around. Also recovers from breaching very well. With the large wingspan in this wing; I like to use a longer mast (85cm+) to minimize wingtip breach on carving turns.

The MA 800 is super playful. This thing can really handle higher speeds and quick responsive turns. I use the MA 800 to boost jumps, it has so much carving pop and it reenters the water effortlessly!

The MA 1225 is my go-to foil for most of my wing sessions, especially when I want to get a bit of speed and practice airs. I usually pair it with a 60 fuse, a 232 flow tail, and a 72 mast. It's quick and nimble through the water, giving me the option to keep turns buttery smooth or quick and snappy. With a surprisingly low stall speed, the foil maintains glide exceptionally well and gives a lot of front foot feedback to help you place your foil just where you want it beneath the surface of the water, whether you're pumping, gliding, or finding that perfect pocket on the swell. My first few rides on it felt "twitchy" but as I got used to it, I really appreciated the ventilation recovery capabilities of the foil. An unintentional breach that would have ended my ride previously was now just a minor speed bump. This same quality opened up the door for jumping for me as well, since the foil re-enters the water with minimal bubbles clinging to the clean shape, it gets right back up to a glide instantly after landing.
I've also had the chance to try the MA 1475 for a few light wind sessions and found it to be an awesome ride as well. The wider wingspan took a moment to get used to, but it turns exceptionally well compared to other foils I've tried in similar sizes/shapes from other companies.
Overall, I've really enjoyed having this addition to my quiver of foils and would highly recommend the MA line.

The MA 1000 is the perfect wing for kiters looking to progress into kite foiling. With an incredibly slow lift speed, you will be able to master water starts without worrying about stalling the wing. Pair it with the Armstrong WKT 137 and you will have plenty of board to get on plane and effortlessly glide on to foil. Once you have mastered riding both way, this wing still allows you to push into higher speeds and still remain incredibly stable as well as keeping you of foil on the low end with learning your tacks and jibes.
One of the main struggles of learning to kite foil is always breaching the wing and having to start over. With the new MA series, cavitation is a thing of the past. Whether it be a wingtip or the entire wing, the MA series recovers immediately and keeps you riding.

After kiting all of the MA wings from the 625-1225, The MA 800 is definitely my go to daily driver for kite foiling. Even in 10mph, the MA 800 has very user friendly low speed lift for the water start and then an incredibly smooth ride for higher speeds once you are up and riding. Paired with the incredible breach recovery of the entire MA line, the MA 800 is the perfect wing for kite foilers that are looking to upgrade to something a bit faster but still has the low end performance in lighter winds.
