Armstrong HS (High Speed) Foil Wing Series

  • The wings are shaped for maximum stability and predictability at all speeds.
  • The foil sections have been carefully designed by one of the world’s foremost sport wing designers.
  • Continuous testing and refinement helped us find a combination of planform,

  • leading and trailing edge sweep and the right amount of anhedral curve that delivers super smooth flow, giving a more connected surf like feeling while on the fly.
  • Construction is based around a high-density foam core, which is encapsulated in Aramid cloth before being wrapped with 100% High Modulus Carbon.
  • All Foil kits and separate parts include a protective cover.




Description

HS625 

The High Speed 625 with its winglet tips is fast and ultra smooth through the water. Speed and stability allows you to carve with confidence either with kite power or riding big waves and swells.

The futuristic tip design is what we believe makes all the difference. The winglets make for a clean tip flow by reducing the wingtip vortices, this improves overall performance and feel when you pile on the speed!

Ideal for Kite foiling, Big wave riding, Tow surfing and Wake foiling.

HS850 

Speed is everything with control, the new HS850 delivers both! Sleek and sexy lines let you know that this wing is sporty and refined at the same time. This relatively small wing has a huge range, it handles high speeds easily and has enough glide and lift to pump.

This is a sick wing for solid surf, Kiting and wing foiling… The combination of its performance attributes give it range and that range makes it versatile. Developed with Kiwi powerhouse Bevan Gooch who is known for ripping in big surf, he reckons the only limitation of this wing is how far the rider dare push it! Sweet handling and pitch control are signature features of that unique Armstrong feeling, the HS850 is another sublime addition to the HS range of wings..

HS 1550 for Wakesurfing

I have not been able to use the 1550 properly in the ocean (due to my skill level), but have rode the 1550 behind the boat a few times and am blown away! I came from the metal/carbon Slingshot Infinity 76 which was great (or so I thought) until I splurged on the 1550. I am riding ropeless for as long as I want behind the boat, with lots of lift (I am 200lbs). The 1550 has allowed me to pump outside the wake and back in, something that for me was impossible on the Slingshot.

Once you start turning on the Armstrong, you feel like you have so much more control than the Slingshot. You feel on the Slingshot like you are riding it, like once you are turning/carving behind the boat, you have to let the board continue carving, because you just cant control it that well.

With the Armstrong, you feel like you can control and change the direction of the board mid carve. It's a lot more responsive.

The 1550 for me is the ideal wake surf foil. I use a 25LSV but turn the wave to almost zero. I dump all the ballast, have the boat in lift mode, and use the surf gate. Still playing around with the settings. Or I was. I am winterizing this week and heading back to the coast!

Go-Foil to Armstrong, night and day

190lbs prone foiler. Started with a Go-Foil Kai/Iwa setup and just replaced it with the HS1550/HS1850. Wow, the Armstrong is so smooth,fast, and predictable. When catching waves you have much more control on the drop and the glide is amazing. In my first session I was making drops that I would normally breach or pearl on. Stoked to take my foiling to the next level.

Worth every penny!

Wow

The 1850 is nutz! Yes it’s a big wing and wide wing span at 37”. But this thing turns not quite as good as the 1550 but it turns pretty damn good! If your pumping technique is crappy like mine, the 1850 will still get you pumping back out! I was able to do my first double dip today, multiple times. I’m super stoked, while pumping back out I was able to see and feel what good pumping technique should be. The 1850 helps you refine and perfect it, my 1550 I had to exit a wave clean with lots of speed to pump back out! The 1850, if I made it out the back of the wave. I could easily pump back out, awesome wing!

HS232/HS212 is a Huge Difference

This is a review for the 232 and 212 chop shop tail wing, which I believe is a critical piece of equipment for a experienced surf foiler. The standard 300 tail wing is a more stable wing and what beginner foilers should be using. However, once your at the level where you are connecting multiple waves and starting to perform turns on a wave, this is a great tool to add to your set up. The smaller tail wing makes the foil feel looser and more responsive, allowing you to do sharper turns and surf more aggressively on a wave. It takes several waves to get used to so try not get initially discouraged, but once you get a handle on it -you'll be stoked. I chopped my wing to a 212 and that is all I use in the surf now. I don't think it makes much of a difference in terms of pumping but if your after a looser more responsive foil definitely try it out!

1850 Test Flight

I had the opportunity to take out the 1850 for a quick Prone session on my giant 74L wing board in waist high gutless surf. My first wave was a 3-1, which is very rare for me, and unheard of on a board with more than twice my normal prone volume. Just insane projection with each pump and very slick/frictionless feeling through the water. I finally felt like I could really chase down far off bumps. Turned amazing too. Really built speed through turns without diving or surging. I can’t wait to try it out winging!
