MAX POWER, MAX RUNTIME
The Foil Drive Assist MAX is the flagship model with maximum power, runtime, thrust and versatility. Suitable for any rider at any skill level for just about any type of foiling you can imagine! The Assist MAX does it all!
WHO RIDES THE MAX?
It doesn't matter if your surfing, down winding, Winging or in flat Water, the Assist Max is for everyone, however heavier riders and those wanting to just pull the trigger and fly will love the extra run time and thrust.
If you've been around Foil Drive before, the Assist MAX is for anyone who loves the runtime of the Assist PLUS and is keen on more power and more runtime! If you're new to Foil Drive, the MAX is the perfect all rounder!
INSTALL ON ANY FOILBOARD & MAST
Gen2 Foil Drive Systems mount between your mast plate and the board. As foil mast tracks are universal, this means it fit's any board! Simply use the provided locking T nuts and longer mast bolts. Sandwich your Gen2 Foil Drive between your gear for optimal weight distribution and a clean top board surface.
NEW V2 MOTOR
The redesigned v2 Motor features a sleeker, more hydrodynamic design. With a 10mm extension to the Motor, it now accommodates a motor plug and offers added versatility with customisable Motor Cable lengths.
REMOVABLE CABLES
The v2 Motor Plug allows modularity with a quick and simple connection between your Foil Drive unit and your v2 Motors enabling the ultimate flexibility.
When used in conjunction with the Foil Drive Universal Motor Pods and Mast Adaptors, this motor is compatible with almost any foil mast on the market!
UNIVERSAL MAST ADAPTOR
Now included in all Foil Drive kits
The unique design features a number of six sized "keys" that are to be installed into the front of the adaptor to allow for fitment of all different sizes and shapes of mast. The user will need to fit and test the different keys to find the correct one for their mast and the taper of the position you would like to mount your motor.

Armstrong S1 1550
The Armstrong Alloy System and S1 Foil range was designed with one thing in mind:
CREATE THE EASIEST PATHWAY FOR MORE PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE FOILING
The Armstrong Alloy System was designed to enable riders of all skill levels to chase endless experiences on the water. Its modularity, broad performance range and exceptional build quality empowers riders of all levels to progress without limits.
It's not alloy, it's Armstrong Alloy.
The Armstrong Alloy System surpasses all expectations of what an alloy hydrofoil can be. Its advanced section design and exceptional quality empowers riders to progress without limits, and the system's compatibility with all Armstrong's foil ranges encourages endless experiences on the water.
Elevating Alloy
Design that's far from price point.
Building on the knowledge and technology used to develop Armstrong's industry-leading Performance carbon mast, the AA mast section and structure are optimised from top to bottom for an excellent balance of strength, efficiency and weight. A specially machined mast top and SailGP-inspired bottom bracket design exemplify the attention to detail put into this system that maximises performance and minimises compromise. The mast and fuselage are crafted from 6061 and 7075 alloy for excellent strength and weight properties where needed most.
Modular As Standard
One system, endless experiences.
The Alloy fuselage is fully compatible with all our foils and stabilizers so riders at any stage in their foiling journey can easily adjust their ride as desired.
Premium Hardware
Embodying the Armstrong ethos.
The AA System is outfitted exclusively with premium titanium and stainless steel hardware so your setup can continue growing with you over time. Custom titanium M7 x 1.25 and M8 screws provide a strong, corrosion-resistant connection with a fit and finish that's worthy of the Armstrong name.
S1 FOILS
REDEFINING THE APPROACH TO FOILING
The S1 (Step 1) foils deliver remarkable stability, ultra low flying speed and an instantly intuitive feel to make the first step into foiling as accessible and approachable as possible.
AUTOPILOT-LIKE STABILITY
Pitch, roll and yaw stability are critical to success when building folding skills. The S1 design achieves a near autopilot-like level of predictability thanks to a combination of leading and trailing edge sweep, chord length and foil section geometry. The result is an ultra easy platform for first time flyers to learn any foiling discipline.
FORGIVING AND VERSATILE
The Step 1 foils fly at a remarkably low speed with a high degree of controllability so that riders can practice maneuvers with less risk and a lower learning curve. When overpowered, the foil reduces breaching with a tendency to fly itself back down when approaching the surface. Because these foils handle speed and ventilation so well, riders can enjoy an exceptionally broad usable speed range in each size.
PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION
Built to the same tolerances as our other foils, the S1 range is constructed from carbon composites which provide an excellent strength to weight ratio.

Armstrong FG Wing Surf Foilboard
From our new and innovative “Forward Geometry” Wing Surf and Wing Sup board designs, highlight the drive and passion we have to always be improving and maximizing the potential of every ride!
The logic behind Forward Geometry is all about the mast track position in relation to the center of the board. The further forward the mast can go the better, it improves maneuverability, response and dramatically reduces the rotational swing weight effect. Combine this with state-of-the-art 320mm Carbon fiber A+System Mast Tracks and you have maximum potential to get your board and foils geometry working for you!
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 Forward Geometry range of boards are packed full of innovation.
Features
- Forward Geometry… Our new A+System Mast Tracks are positioned well forward in the board to reduce rotational swing weight which radically improves handling and response.
- High strength custom Carbon fiber A+System Mast Tracks… Plastic simply does not do the job well enough, so we designed our own 320mm Carbon Fiber mast tracks.
- Recessed deck… This brings you closer to the mast top for direct handling and feel.
- Through deck carry handle/water evacuation… Easy to carry top or bottom, the through board handle is also the water evacuation for the recessed deck.
- Extended waterline profile view… Speed is the key, so we use all the boards waterline to help accelerate the board forward.
- Chisel-nose outline… Offers stability on the water and helps push the water under the board rather than splitting it around the board.
- Aggressive nose rocker into an accentuated double concave to flat… This is all about bringing the nose up quickly to accelerate the water down the double concave to flat bottom at the tail.
- Innovative tail shape… For better acceleration, less drag at the rear waterline release area, it looks faster because it is!
- Accentuated chines… 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.
- Stable Volume distribution… The recessed deck, wide Chisel nose and relatively rectangular outline means we can push the volume to the extremities, makes for a stable platform when on the water.
- Light and strong… Lightweight is nothing without strength so we have 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.
