Armstrong CF1600 Foil Package

The Armstrong CF1600 Complete Foil Kit is ideal for small waves or SUP foiling. This foil is super stable with the longer 70cm fuselage and bigger front wing.

Armie Armstrong got fed up with all of the foils he was buying breaking, seizing together and not working like he wanted them to, so he put together an all star team and Armstrong Foils were born. These are top quality foils with unique performance characteristics that make the foils really easy to learn with yet all the top pros are frothing to get their hands on them.

What We Like

• Armstrong took the extra time and money to make a really top quality product. Their quality control is amazing and you can see it when you hold one of these foils in person.
• This is the most stable foil on the market. You can't understand it until you have ridded a bunch of foils and have them vibrate like mad through white water, prop wash or surface chop. Then you get on the Armstrong and you don't feel anything but the foil effortlessly gliding under your feet. This is a huge benefit for beginners that will allow you to have a more stable platform.
• There is no learning curve. You get better as soon as you start riding this foil.
• The mast has a tapered design so that it is wide and super stiff at the top and narrower with some flex at the bottom. This allows it to absorb vibrations and it helps you get shorter radius turns.
• Armstrong pulled in experts from the Team New Zealand America's Cup foil design team as well as Robbie Wittall from Ozone kites to work on the foil designs and create their proprietary carbon lay ups.
• All the hardware is high end stainless steel and these screws turn into titanium. This means that there will be no corrosion ever. You can leave it together for as long as you want and it won't corrode. Also the stainless going into titanium has a little more bite so the screws won't wiggle loose.
• The wing covers and travel case are so simple and well thought out. They are super functional and simple.

What We Don't Like

• These foils are expensive. You get what you pay for and it is worth spending up to get an Armstrong.
• There are two different size tail wing screws that differ by 2mm. The diagram on the instruction sheet in the case very clearly shows this but some have been thrown off so double check the screw length.

Why You Want an Armstrong Foil

The 1600 is a no nonsense big and easy surf foil. This is an excellent beginner foil for most sized riders in small waves and the front wing is big enough for down wind gliding and pumping. No matter your ability level, you can appreciate the Armstrong Foils. They learned what fails on all other foils and have taken the time to address these issues with precision quality.
